“In March for Women’s History Month, we will celebrate those that have blazed the trails on which we get to walk in whatever heeled shoe we choose. More importantly, it is a reminder to keep blazing ahead, fearlessly.” – Carrie Yates

“Being in good company means that you have surrounded yourself with people that have a like-minded purpose, who have the same high standard to create the best environment to be successful, learn, and to create the best solutions with the best customer service and ultimately create the best outcome.” – Diane Daugherty, Director of Sales at KREM  

“This will sound cheesy, but I believe that what I do changes businesses and lives. My clients don’t have money to waste and need their campaigns to produce RESULTS. I take that very seriously and understand it firsthand because my husband is a small business owner. Every client who trusts me is a part of my ‘halo moment.'” 

“Being in good company allows me to always be the best version of myself as I continue to learn and grow, personally and professionally, from the good people around me. Whether that’s the incredible #TeamTEGNA or our wonderful clients, I rarely end my day without having learned something new.” 

“I recognize how fortunate I am to be a woman with a voice and the freedom to make choices for myself. The cracks in the glass ceiling are real and I’ve watched some amazing women forge pathways to allow themselves and all who come behind to continue in their footsteps.  Women’s History Month is a time to reflect, to share our personal stories into the collective female history, and to mentor young women (and men) to keep creating those paths.”
