Last week, I was fortunate enough to be asked to take
part in the 12th annual Women In Banking Conference hosted by the Illinois Bankers Association. I participated
in a panel discussion with State of Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka and Illinois National Bank President/CEO and UIS alumna Sarah Phalen. Sharing a stage with these two outstanding women and looking out into
the crowd, made me proud of the contributions Illinois business women make each
and every day.
