Women’s Leadership

Recognizing Outstanding Women in the Accounting Profession

Women's Leadership Committee

The Women's Leadership Committee promotes the growth, advancement and recognition of women in the accounting and finance profession through professional development, mentoring and recognition through the Women to Watch awards.

The Committee objectives include:

  • Develop, advance and recognize women CPAs.
  • Develop and host the Women in Leadership Summit at Mega each June that provides practical information and enhances leadership skills for development and growth.
  • Promote, administer and presents the FICPA Women to Watch Awards.
  • Develop and enhance the website with resources that support women's initiatives.

Since 2010, the FICPA has recognized diverse, talented, and outstanding female accountants in Florida with its Women to Watch Awards.

Women to Watch Award recipients contribute to the accounting profession and demonstrate qualities that set them apart from others, including networking, sharing best practices, volunteering, mentoring, authoring and more. They must be a CPA and a member of the FICPA. Recipients fall into one of two categories - Emerging Leaders (those in the early stage of their career) and Experienced Leaders (10+ years in the profession).

In addition to being recognized at the Women's Leadership Summit, the Women to Watch Award recipients are featured on FICPA.org and the winners receive recognition in the summer issue of Florida CPA Today. Nominations for the 2025 Women to Watch Awards have closed.
