“Women Who Excel” Conference Featuring Zinner Managing Partner

by | 13 Jan | Firm news

Robin Baum featured in Smart Business ClevelandThe month of April normally means the end of the busy tax season, but this year it is quickly being redefined as the month of Zinner Managing Partner Robin Baum!

Already selected as a recipient of the John Carroll University 2012 Alumni Award, Robin was also chosen to be on the panel for the “2012 Perspectives: Women Who Excel” Conference – not to mention the fact that she currently graces the cover of the April issue of Cleveland’s Smart Business magazine.

The conference, sponsored by Smart Business and presented by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, features Robin and four other leading women executives sharing their insight on what it takes to redefine and reinvigorate personal leadership style in order to develop solutions to overcome obstacles and move a business forward.

“I look at something and if I pose a personal challenge to myself, I’m going to see it through and that’s the definition of perseverance,” says Robin in theSmart Business feature. “I hold my bar higher than anybody could hold it for me.”

Robin will be joined on the “Power of Perseverance” panel by Patricia Adams of Zeitgest Wellness Group, Candace Klein of Bad Girl Ventures, Dr. Kandice Kottke-Marchant from the Cleveland Clinic and Esther Potash from Olympic Steel.

The event, which takes place on Friday, April 13 at Severance Hall, is expected to sell out.
