Brea Starmer to Speak at Women Who Lead Summit on Career Reinvention

Just listened to the latest Inside the ICE House episode with Carey Lohrenz and Lindsey Pfeifer really nailed something important here. The whole conversation centers on a simple but brutal truth: an organization is only as fearless as its leaders. Vision, culture, clarity… it all flows downhill. If the top is uncertain, everyone below feels it. Worth a listen if you’re thinking about what drives organizational culture and how leadership clarity actually matters. #Leadership #Culture

Six years ago when I joined SF Partners, Rebecca Parnell, was the only woman in the senior team. Me joining made 2. Fast forward to today and 65% of our leadership team is women. Not through any deliberate DEI action, but by building female confidence, being loud about what it takes to succeed as a woman (especially in your fertile years) and creating the room for everyone to thrive. So when Rebecca and her East Midlands leadership team told me they wanted to launch an external group to do the same for senior finance women in the region, I was very pleased. When I was a CFO, I didn’t know a single other woman in the same role. I’m sure I would have slept better if I had! Introducing Elavare | Women in Finance Leadership.

Last month at the CALED Annual Conference, attendees packed the room to attend the "Women Who Build Places: Leading Economic Development Through Leadership, Influence, and Practice" session. Led by Darlene Sanchez, Assistant City Manager of the City of Ontario, panelists Jennifer McLain Hiramoto, CALED Chair and Executive Director of Economic Development for the City of Ontario, Christina Bibler, Director of Economic Development for The City of San Diego, and Traci Michel, Director of Economic Development and Housing for the City of West Sacramento, discussed how to build a career in and navigate through male-dominated fields. After detailing how each grew into their leadership roles and accomplished challenging projects along the way, the panelists engaged in an insightful Q&A session with attendees on balancing leadership with work, family, and personal life. Thank you to our wonderful women in leadership for starting the discussion on how to succeed as a woman in #EconDev and to everyone who attended and participated!
