I come from an industry that is predominantly powered by #women However, even today, most industries are dominated by men. In 2022, #data collected from the International Labour Organization concluded that, out of 180 countries - the #unitedstates ranks number 71 for % of women in the workforce. The percentage of women in the #workforce in the U.S is 46.38% Women remain #underrepresented at all levels, in most industries. However, know that when you call 9-1-1 it’s likely that the #hero under the headset is a #strong , #brave , #courageous #female According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report in 2021 - 74% if 911 operators are women. “People need to see leaders who look like themselves, to understand that it’s possible for them.” Happy #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #womenchangemakers #genderequality #911dispatch #911dispatcher #dispatchers #publicsafety #publicsector #everydayheroes

Rosenberg & Estis, P.C. is thrilled to see Member, Arielle Frost featured in this month’s New York Real Estate Journal 2024 Women in CRE Spotlight! Choosing the firm isn’t always easy and finding the right fit is imperative. We are delighted that Arielle chose R&E to call her home. What are the most important factors young women should consider when choosing a firm to build their career with? “Look at whether women hold leadership positions within the firm, whether the firm is focusing on DEI initiatives, and whether there is transparency regarding the criteria to advance through the ranks. Consider whether the firm is willing to clearly set forth and commit to how you will be compensated. Ask to speak to other women at the firm during the hiring process and ask the tough questions that you may be nervous about asking. Then analyze everything you have learned about the firm and ask yourself if you believe you will be valued, respected and fairly compensated at the firm.”

It is not possible for me to put into words my gratitude for the learning opportunities afforded to me (and the field) by Dr. Ala'i-Rosales. So in the absence of the right words, here are some of hers from a chapter and book we should all be more familiar with. "Brief didactic instructions are not enough to change anything except possibly verbal behavior. We learn by doing. Verbal behavior is indeed an important skill, but actual teaching performances are required to change the behaviors that will make meaningful, measurable differences in the lives of the people our trainees are instructing." (Ala'i-Rosales et al., 2003, p. 161) Ala’i-Rosales, S., Thorisdottir, S., & Etzel, B. C. (2003). Behavioral teacher training programs. In K. S. Budd & T. Stokes (Eds.), A small matter of proof: the legacy of Donald M. Baer (pp. 151–165). Reno, NV: Context Press.
