Suzanne Kliegerman Senior vice president Commerce Bank New York, N.Y.

How long have you been a member? 14 years AREW positions held: President, vice president, membership co-chair How has AREW contributed to your career growth? I have absorbed a tremendous amount of industry information from AREW's programs. Most importantly, I have benefited from networking, and sometimes working with inspirational industry leaders. Most memorable AREW moment: Thanking the 2002-2003 board who put forth programs and events that knocked our socks off and Ruth Agnese and Patricia Madsen for chairing a momentous 25th Anniversary gala, and turning over the presidency to Marie-Claire Cunningham! AREW members who have positively influenced your career: Ruth Agnese who supported my growth in AREW and demonstrated how to have a career and family and not short-change either one. Michele Medaglia and Marie-Claire Cunningham who exude tenacity, integrity and humor!
