Star Metroland Media Kel ly Montague, VP Regiona l Pub l i sher Working in a career she loves and with people she cares about, VP Regional Publisher of Star Metroland Media Kelly Montague has allowed herself to continue to learn every day through her passion for her career. To Montague, International Women's Day is a day to celebrate the accomplishments of women and to recognize that there are still women that face discrimination and inequality today. She advises women to "Trust themselves, believe that they can do it and know that mistakes are A-Okay." "I have had very reliable leaders that have always supported me and made me believe in myself. Of course, no career is possible without supportive family and I'm lucky to have that," Montague said, while mentioning that her greatest accomplishment is being a working mother who has raised two children to become "amazing young adults." Opening herself up to always learn something new, Montague explains that her passion for her career helped in her success, but her day-to-day mantra is to follow respect, au- thenticity and professionalism every day. "I have had supportive mentors in my life that have lifted me up and made me who I am," she said. "I try to do the same. There is no greater satisfaction than being told that you have helped someone else to achieve their goals."
