Role Models

I chuckled after I titled this blog post because of the immature, but popular movie. But onto the real post....

I recently realized how fortunate I am to know many admirable women who serve as role models for me in my career. I know these women through work, volunteering, and networking.

They are making an impact on animals' lives in Indianapolis in so many ways:

• Spaying and neutering thousands of cats yearly
  
• Beautifying a cheerless yard in front of Animal Control
  
• Coordinating a food pantry, fencing projects, outreach events, and more
• Transporting huge amounts of fence and then helping needy families install it
• Trapping and transporting hundreds of feral cats
• Shouldering the animal issues that matter at Indianapolis Animal Care and Control
  
• Managing all of the Humane Society's operations and make it look easy
• Rescuing, rehabilitating, fostering, and adopting out homeless and neglected animals
  
• Planning the new spay/neuter center in Fountain Square that will sterilize thousands of animals yearly
  

These women manage households, raise children, have careers, and do all of these things simultaneously. I seriously admire these women and hope that I grow up to be as cool as they are : )
