Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley, compliance leaders and co-hosts of the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, share wit and wisdom from some of the greatest minds in compliance, women who hail from every corner of the globe and span myriad industries and experience levels. The guidance these contributors offer and experiences they share are a breath of fresh air - both for the young professional just starting out and for the mature compliance leader with a long history in compliance and ethics. The stories are exceedingly relatable, the lessons universal. Mary and Lisa have compiled a light-hearted but substantive work as a celebration of women in the compliance space and an encouragement to stand fast in the face of adversity. As the authors and the Sending the Elevator Back Down contributors inspire readers to support and lift others up, they demonstrate a commitment to diversity (among compliance pros and everywhere) and to amplifying lesser-heard voices. Clearly, in this compliance community, the door is open. Come right in.
