The Alliance of Black Women Accountants was birthed out of the vision of our founder and late president Rosemarie Pamela Brown. After working many years in public accounting, doing business with a variety of clients and colleagues, Rosemarie noticed that frequently she was the only person of color in the room. She knew first-hand the challenges that are met in public accounting for women of color having worked in larger national CPA firms.
Public accounting is a challenging and demanding field. For Rosemarie and other women of color, having mentors that look like you and can relate to your challenges as well as serve as an advocate for you is rare if at all experienced throughout one's career. Rosemarie wanted to change that. At Rosemarie's core was the desire to see everyone reach their full potential.
She did this by making connections wherever she went. She was known for being intentional in the relationships that she developed and the people that she sought to get to know. She was the same way when it came to women of color in the accounting and finance professions.
