Wishing a very happy birthday to Associate Search Consultant, !

MJ joined our team earlier this year and has already made her mark — bringing 6+ years of talent acquisition experience and the drive of someone who also happens to be pursuing her law degree. Safe to say she keeps busy.

Hope today involves a frozen margarita and something chocolate. You deserve it, MJ!

A new CFO Dive report is a reminder of how much work remains: women's representation on corporate boards has slipped below 30% — and research shows that most of those gains came from newly created seats, not from replacing male directors.

Progress built on expansion alone isn't the same as progress built on merit and intentionality.

At Ascension Search Partners, we were founded on the belief that the best talent should rise — regardless of gender. As a certified women-founded, owned, and led firm with over 100 years of combined experience placing finance, accounting, and tax leaders across Dallas-Fort Worth, we see firsthand what companies gain when they prioritize diverse, exceptional leadership.

The data matters. But so do the decisions made in every search.
