"As a young attorney, I often hesitated to make decisions or speak up without having all the answers. Over time, I've learned that growth comes from taking action - embracing the possibility of mistakes and turning them into lessons. The challenges that intimidate us most are often the ones that shape us into stronger, more capable professionals." - Amy Revell Teas, Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary Amy's words resonate with so many women who have found strength and success by embracing challenges. This Women's History Month, we celebrate her and all women who are forging their own paths. #WomensHistoryMonth

We're proud to support such a wonderful cause.

Emily Damman, president of Beacon Capital Management, Inc, has seen her career development influenced by female role models. "Three of my closest friends started as mentors. They were all dedicated to incredibly demanding careers, working hard for jobs in which they found value. They were also all dedicated to deep, involved family relationships, being present for those they loved. Seeing real examples of balancing competing priorities has helped me set my own path of having a meaningful, challenging career while being the involved parent I want to be. I am lucky to have their incredible support and encouragement as I navigate my own way. " We're celebrating leaders like Emily and the community of female mentors in her life this #WomensHistoryMonth.
