"It’s a bit indescribable for someone in my situation. Part of it is getting that additional input, using other people’s experiences. As you enter into something that’s really out of your comfort zone and a little bit scary, it's having that support system to help build your confidence with people that are telling you, you’re on the right track, that’s a great idea, try this."

"The professional development conferences they put on, bringing in some well renowned people. Now I understand how wonderful a resource they are. Expanding my business mind and my role in that way has been immensely valuable"

"I did at one point look into Women’s Business Circle. I didn’t feel it was meaty enough for me. I was looking for something that was full on business focus, a grow your business sort of mentality which is one of the things I found appealing about Allied."

"I've certainly told many people that I run into that I definitely advocate for them to join Allied... whether they’re changing roles similar to what I did and trying to build that confidence, moving into a role with greater decision making and leadership or they’re already there. Allied makes it pretty easy. If you try it and don’t like it, they will work with you."
