Queue Alice Cooper, because in most places, "School's out for summer!" Should we pause for Gen Z (and probably a few younger Millennials) to Google this reference?  Like Mr. Cooper, many of my male counterparts are hitting up the golf courses right now and taking the opportunity to network in a different way.  Any of you ladies doing some summer networking in a different way?  Our office is across from Madison Square Park in NYC, and when the opportunity presents itself, I try to meet up for a coffee and sit in the park just to enjoy some fresh air!  I also think summer is a great time to hit up some conferences for professional development and meet up with some peers.

And whether you're networking or relaxing, it's important to remember the inspiring journeys of individuals who are making significant strides in our industry. In the competitive landscape of employee benefits, personal stories of growth and determination often illuminate the path to success. Check out these two inspiring women, Arwyn Robinson of Advanced Benefits, a division of Alliant, and Nicole Triplett of Kysar Leavitt Insurance, who exemplify this journey through their dedication and passion for the industry.
