Ducoff is one of eight recipients of the esteemed national staffing award
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 8, 2023 — Adecco, U.S., part of the world’s leading provider of workforce solutions, today announced Cari Ducoff has been awarded a Women in Leadership Scholarship by the American Staffing Association (ASA).
Ducoff started her career in staffing in 2018 as a branch manager, quickly working her way up to her current position as area director. In her role, she oversees sales, recruitment and branch operations for one of the largest territories in the western part of the U.S. A believer in purpose-driven leadership, Ducoff is committed to inspiring teams and creating positive impacts both within the organization and the communities she serves. As a result, she continually drives positive outcomes for candidates, clients and her team.
“I am honored to receive this recognition from ASA and stand alongside these remarkable women” said Ducoff. “Through this award, I am thrilled for the opportunity to continue building my professional network, as well as honing my leadership skills to further grow in my career, and I hope it encourages other women to do more than they thought they were capable of achieving.”
Established in 2020, the Women in Leadership Scholarship program honors rising stars who show exemplary professional growth potential and a commitment to a career in the staffing and recruiting industry. Ducoff is one of just eight awardees chosen from across the country. This year, the scholarship program fielded the largest number of applications in its history.
“Cari is a dynamic and engaging leader poised to leave her mark in the industry and the world of work,” said Geno Cutolo, head of Adecco, North America. “We are proud of her many accomplishments, her unwavering leadership and most importantly, her belief in our work and its ability to improve lives and shape the future of organizations.”
“The Women in Leadership scholarship program empowers and supports talented women, fostering their development as future leaders,” said Lenore Convery, chair of the ASA Women in Leadership Scholarship program task force. “Congratulations to Cari, and we look forward to welcoming her in Charlotte."
Each recipient will attend two ASA events at no charge: THRIVE Live, Oct. 2-3, and Staffing World® 2023, Oct. 3-5. Both events are taking place at the Charlotte Convention Center.
These scholarships are made possible with the support of Women in Leadership interest group sponsors, with special recognition to the 2022 Women in Leadership scholarship winners, Joanie Bily, author of Dive In D.E.E.P., the authors of Together We Rise, and additional other donors who have supported this program. Generous proceeds from Dive In D.E.E.P. and Together We Rise book sales supported additional scholarships this year.
