In honor of Women’s History Month, ACTEC looks at its history of inclusion and diversity by interviewing some of the earliest female leaders of the College. The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel began in 1949, but it took another 40 years for the first woman to become president. This video looks inward to understand better how an established organization such as ACTEC has grown and changed to become more inclusive, diverse and aware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ACTEC Fellow Cynthia Lamar-Hart<\/a>, chair of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity Committee, moderates a discussion between some of the women who broke the glass ceiling at ACTEC. ACTEC Fellow Carlyn S. McCaffrey<\/a> was the second female president of the College; ACTEC Fellow Rhonda H. Brink<\/a> was the first female elected from Texas; and current ACTEC President Ann B. Burns<\/a> share their experiences and offer recommendations for women to excel in a professional organization. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
