Program Overview
Ms. D’An presented the 2006 Florida Census of Women
Directors and Executive Officers, a census report
compiled by Women Executive Leadership in
collaboration with the University of Miami.
According to the 2006 Census, 21 Florida public
companies have two or more female directors on their
Boards of Directors, each of which was individually
recognized and awarded for this achievement at the
2006 Corporate Salute.
Ms. Follit presented her experiences as a corporate
executive and a member of the Board of Directors of
several public companies. With a great sense of
humor and humility, Ms. Follit captured the
attention of the program participants by sharing her
valuable insights gleaned from service on a public
company Audit Committee, leading organizations
through challenging times, and balancing the
personal and professional demands faced by most
women in the executive ranks.
