“Boom Boom”   Umbrage
UAEL

Congratulations to Betty Kerhoulas! Its about time this organization had the

guts to vote a woman in as President but I was disappointed by the nickname

she was being called under the "top gun" excuse. I don't know about anyone

else out there...no I have not lost my humor ....what I have lost is my

respect for the men who run UAEL for giving her the nickname "boom boom".

 I didn't hear any derogatory nicknames for the men...unless it was referring

to their golf game.  I noticed quite a lot of smart, educated,

successful fabulous women at the conference and know of many more that were

absent...I was very glad to see Marci Kimball of ACC Capital, another woman, on the  UAEL board.

I serve on the ELA (Equipment Leasing Association) board, which has a number of women, I was on the EAEL (Eastern Association of Equipment Lessors ) board...again they have always had a number of women.  We weren’t addressed

as “Boom Boom”. It appears that the old boy network is still hard at work. I hope Betty can...I believe she will do a great job...lets hope that more women will be right behind her.

 Good luck Betty! In the words of our morning speaker..you are intelligent, interesting, and fabulous!

Sincerely,

Deborah J. Monosson

Congratulations to Bette Kerhoulas, CLP.  I am very confident that she

will lead UAEL through the very tough road ahead.  She is intelligent,

successful, thoughtful, courageous, and dignified.  She is a beautiful

person. 

Shame on the 3 UAEL men that allowed her to be referred to as "Boom

Boom" at the UAEL conference.  Wake up Gentlemen, and I use the term

loosely, this is not 1962.  Your lack of respect is despicable.
