Over a year ago, Dara Kass, founder of FemInEM, asked if I would give a talk at the inaugural FemInEM Idea Exchange. As FIX 2017 approached, I was terrified. Being an academic Emergency Physician, I was an experienced speaker and had given hundreds of similar talks. But for some reason, this one caused me the most anxiety. The bar had been set so high by Dara and the conference organizers, I wondered if I could meet their expectations. The day arrived, I delivered my talk, “Be A Boss: In Medicine, Life, and Business,” and all my fears melted away. The support and energy in the room gave me confidence, reduced my anxiety and cleared the way for a successful talk. Being a part of this incredible community inspired me to do more.

Our core values: to “build human connections” and to go “one step further,” align with FemInEM’s vision and the community- building and inspiration that takes place at the conference. This led Rosh Review to become a Platinum sponsor and support an on-site child care room at FIX18 so families can now attend the FIX18 conference together.

Rosh Review believes in creating empowering, inclusive, and equal communities and opportunities. We support equal pay for equal work. We believe in gender equality. We believe diversity is an asset. Most of all, we believe in the amazing women and men who make Rosh Review an organization I’m extremely proud of.

Over the past few weeks, in the lead-up to FIX18–which will undoubtedly be awesome–Rosh Review shared more than thirty profiles of the women who are at the center of our mission to help people reach their goals and achieve their dreams. We call these mini-bios #ProfilesInAwesomeness. See them all here and see you at FIX18!
