Women in Leadership Award Winner Among Forbes' Top 100 Women


The 2006-07 Women in Leadership Award ceremony was held in the Michigan Union's stately Pendleton Room, which is lined with portraits of University of Michigan forefathers who seemed to smile on the proceedings honoring Beth Brooke, Ernst & Young’s first female vice chairperson.

Dean Robert J. Dolan of the Ross School of Business and representatives of the Michigan Business Women and Women's Initiative presented Brooke with a crystal vase commemorating the honor on March 6 before welcoming her to the podium to address the evenly split male and female audience.

As Global Vice Chair of Strategy and Regulatory Affairs for Ernst & Young, Brooke plays a leading role in setting the strategic direction of the organization around the world and in shaping its position on critical matters of public policy. She is most passionate about her role as an advocate for the accounting profession's public responsibility to financial markets around the world.
