The year is flying by!  I can't believe it's already June, and I'm super excited because my brother and sister-in-law are going to be welcoming my new niece into the world in a few short weeks.  Maybe I can get her into the industry early!  This project has been hugely rewarding for me as a way to spread the good news about women in our industry and the incredible things they are doing!  This month, you'll get to meet some great women who were introduced to me by other great women.  I'm sure you'll have fun getting to know Sheryl, Ande and Stacey a little better. I know I did! 

Sheryl Brown, Ash Brokerage Corporation

"My biggest accomplishment in the last 12 months has to be speaking at more than 25 events about social media use in the FinServ community. I am passionate about helping advisors amplify their unique value proposition, educating financial service professionals on leveraging data from their social contacts to build better relationships, and keeping financial service practices relevant, yet successful, by embracing the use of technology. I am proud to say financial services is the only community of professionals I've worked in my entire adult life and I plan on staying for many years to come!" 

Ande Frazier, CFP®, CLU, ChFC, RICP, Leap Systems, LLC

When you stop learning and growing, you become disconnected and irrelevant."  After 24 years in the business, I make it a habit of continuing to look for ways to grow and develop.  Getting designations and furthering my education has been part of that growth.  After already obtaining my CLU, ChFC and RICP designations, I decided to sit for the CFP® exam this year.
