This is one of my favorite times of the year and
not necessarily for the reason you might think.
Of course, I love the Holidays! But in the context
of our CBIZ Women’s Advantage Program, this
time of the year allows me to both look back on
all of our successes in 2013 (enjoy our pictures
and notes on our recent networking and our
annual national community outreach events)
and, at the same time, become excited for all of
our projects, plans and pilots for 2014. There is
so much discussion these days surrounding the
importance of “solidarity of women” to the
development and advancement of women.
At CBIZ, I am convinced
that our success is largely
due to CBIZ Women
Helping Women in our
communities, in business
development, in setting
stretch professional goals
for 2014 … and in always
saying “Yes, we can do

you to our CWA
Leadership and to all of our talented women
within CBIZ.

emphasize enough the all
consuming love she has
for the community.
Joy Foster has been the
Executive Director at JVS
Joy Foster
for more than 15 years.
She received a Bachelor and Masters degree in
Public Affairs and spent ten years at Catholic
Charities before joining JVS.
JVS was established in 1949 to assist holocaust
survivors, refugees and displaced persons build
new lives in this country. Today, JVS has
expanded their services to anyone with a barrier,
whether due to physical or developmental
disabilities or acculturation difficulties. JVS
engages, encourages and empowers people to
achieve social, cultural and economic integration.
Through her work, Joy is consumed in the
community. “I am involved in everything we do at
JVS and want to know and understand all of it.
Being accessible and involved at all aspects is
crucial; you really get to know and understand
the needs of the community so you can then
better develop programs around those needs.”
Throughout her career, Joy has worked closely
with all groups at JVS, but one of the things that
has truly touched her is seeing the advancement
of women, especially through the JVS refugee
and social work programs. These programs

CWA Networking Events in 2013
CBIZ and Mayer Hoffman McCann’s Bethesda Mid-Atlantic Model
Cities Group was the title sponsor of the 2013 SmartCEO’s
Brava! Awards in July. Nancy Mellard (left) was a Podium
Speaker at this event. This event celebrates female CEOs who
combine their irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit with a passion
for giving back to the community. These CEOs have become
exemplary leaders in their companies and the community at
large by encouraging local philanthropy, mentoring fellow CEOs
and setting their companies on the path to tremendous growth.
“Developing and advancing
the talents of women in
the workplace at all levels
is not a gender issue.
It’s a business issue.”

victims of domestic violence and trafficking.
“These women come from a culture where
the ‘outside of the home’ value of women is
not recognized,” informed Joy. A large part of
what JVS does is help these women integrate
into the community by providing services and
working with a variety of agencies to help
them better understand and navigate through
these experiences. “It is amazing to see
women who have not experienced the
opportunities we are accustomed to thrive
socially and economically in our community,”
continued Joy.

Stefanie Cavanaugh: Empowering Women
It’s easy to see why Rick Jenson, Managing
Director, CBIZ Valuations Group, Dallas, thought
Stefanie Cavanaugh was an outstanding candidate for the CWA Client Spotlight.
Stefanie, Senior Vice
President of Harden
Healthcare, an ancillary
services organization
specializing in senior
care, is passionate about
giving back and empowering women in the financial arena. As a teenager,
she joined her mother as
a volunteer at the San
Antonio Women’s Credit Union (SAWCU), an organization designed to help women establish and
gain credit. She kept the books and learned the
financial operations of the organization. “I develStefanie Cavanaugh
oped my love for finance during those early years
and found my first CPA mentor at SAWCU. I
watched an amazing group of professional women help their sisters gain financial independence,” commented Stefanie.
After college and five years in public accounting
she joined the San Antonio Symphony as CFO.
Thriving in the small environment, Stefanie
gained experience in all facets of managing the
financial operations. She spent 10 years at
Encore Medical Corporation as the Controller,
learning about Health Care Finance and the
medical device industry, and helped lead the
organization through rapid growth in revenue –
$35 million to almost $1 billion. Sarbanes Oxley
became effective and increased the demands on
public companies dramatically. Both these
changes meant growth for Stefanie and her
team. She began to mentor other accountants,

The CWA Spotlight
From Counting Calories to
Counting Pounds –– The
Journey of Fiona Hotston Moore
Supported by her husband and two children,
Fiona Hotston Moore is a partner at Top 30
UK Accountancy Firm Reeves and London
resident by week; and a wife, mother and late
15th century farmhouse resident by
weekend. Her professional journey and
support for quotas for greater diversity in the
workplace and on boards is inspiring and
empowering!
Originally qualified as a Dietician and
Nutritionist, Fiona quickly made a career
change to train as a Chartered Accountant
with KPMG. In 1990, she had identified a
“glass ceiling” within the organization and
joined a smaller entrepreneurial accountancy
firm, where she became a partner by the age
of 30. Next, she joined MRI Moores Rowland
partnership, where she was appointed
Managing Partner and was the only female
Managing Partner in the Top 30 practices.
She then led the merger of that practice and
in 2012 decided to move back into a more
entrepreneurial practice, Reeves, where she
is today.
Fiona appears regularly in the media as an
enthusiastic supporter of having quotas for
women at the board level. “I have published
numerous articles and have also spoken on
TV, on the radio and in schools and at
universities on the need for greater diversity
on boards and generally in the workplace. I
have been pushing for temporary quotas in
the absence of real progress without
intervention. I believe conscious and
unconscious bias is the main obstacle to
diversity in boards and more generally in
leadership” stated Fiona.

To support this effort,
Fiona co-founded the
Accelerated Board
Attainment (ABA) which Fiona Hotston
is aimed to help equip Moore
women with the tools to seek and obtain
leadership positions. Fiona was also a
member of the “Narrowing the Gap”
committee of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants in England and Wales, working to
encourage more women to seek and succeed
in leadership roles. Fiona noted, “Diversity
eliminates group think, promotes
sustainability, creativity and resilience in
international organizations.”
For her impressive efforts in this area, Fiona
has received various awards, including being
the winner of the “Woman Leader in Finance”
in 2012, “Accountant of the Year” in the City
Awards 2007 and Number 49 in the
“Accountancy Age 2013 Financial Power List.”
“It’s important for women to identify mentors
and supporters both internally and externally
and that you have confidence in your abilities.
Women tend to assume they need 120% of
the job specifications to apply for a role,
whereas men are happy to push themselves
forward knowing they may only have 60% of
the attributes, but confident they can step up
to the job” concluded Fiona.

journey to better diversify the workplace,

New social
media tools
emerge daily,
prompting
improvements
and changes to
the other, more
classic, social
sites in order to Amanda Markos
compete.
However, a tool that continues to
compete with the industry leaders is
SlideShare.
Slideshare is a public sharing site
which allows professionals and
businesses to upload presentations,
whitepapers, brochures and videos
to “share” with the world. By doing
so, users can expand their sphere of
influence, increase brand awareness
and generate leads. Users also
benefit from the infographic feature,
allowing users to upload and share
graphic or visual representations of
information or data, otherwise
intended to present complex
information, quickly and clearly.
Last, SlideShare is FREE, unlike
other social media channels that
push advertisements and paid
updates. While SlideShare does
have some paid business features,
users receive the same benefits of
sharing and downloading material at
no additional cost.
In 2013, CBIZ Inc. received over
94,318 views to our documents,
377 downloads and 32 leads. For

SlideShare capabilities, contact
