Jennifer Belcher

"She didnt intend to be the first woman anything, she was who she was, she saw opportunities and possibilities to get things done."

"Timber was king here, not queen. She was fearless."

"Every time a woman takes that step out and has the courage and fearlessness and commitment to lead, especially when she is the very first … she opens the new door, the new opportunity, for every woman."

"The first meeting I had with her I thought, Oh my word, this is one intimidating lady. It was that posture of hers for starters, her hairdo, it was her whole demeanor; she took over the room"

"She was a revolutionary. She essentially turned that agency around, and it never went back."

"Along the way, Belcher earned a reputation for a work ethic as ramrod as her posture. When she swept into a room or stepped to a podium, it wasnt her high heels or beehive updo but her riveted focus and assertive command that snapped people to attention."
