“I see leadership as a commitment to nurturing a culture that embraces different perspectives and experiences. It's about leading by example, advocating for equality, and empowering women to thrive professionally and personally.”

Elizabeth Mix

"I think it’s extremely important to for us to help each other build confidence and focus on learning our self-worth and putting our fears behind us so we know our opportunities are not limited – we can achieve anything we want. ”

Jay Arneja

VP - Industry Strategy

“I am a firm believer in the phrase 'Empowered Women, Empower Women.' When you combine feeling empowered with being a leader who sets visions and deliverables for groups knowing we all rest on the shoulders of the gregarious women that came before us, we start to live the various definitions of leadership and empowerment.”

Kenneshia Martin

Broker
Martin Mortgage Financial
“Leadership involves creating pathways for women to thrive professionally and personally. This means advocating for equal opportunities, fair compensation, and representation at all levels of the mortgage industry. It also entails providing mentorship, resources, and guidance to help women navigate challenges and seize opportunities for advancement.”

SVP Real Estate Lending
Amplify Credit Union
“Knowledge is power. I have only always lifted women up by showing them how to believe in themselves and how to access equality! We are bridging gaps for women thru education.”

“Leadership is living authentically to drive and empower others to become the best version of themselves. It doesn't come from a place of judgement or criticism but rather from a collective transmission of experience and a desire to see others succeed.”

Margie Ambrosio

SVP Business Solutions
Benchmark
“We have chosen to be part of an industry that is typically and historically male dominated. This means that among other things, there are precious few women in leadership for us to emulate. It is our duty as women in leadership to help to change that."
