Women in the Auctioneer Business

[rml]

I am attending auctioneer school this summer in pursuit of a childhood dream! I am a female and have found that there aren't many in this profession. I have the drive to do benefit auctions, and was wondering if their are any women out there that would allow me pick their brains. I have so many question

I am so excited to find this forum!

Hi RML,

There are more and more women entering this terrific field. I'm glad to know that more and more are joining. A few names that come to mind are Jenelle Taylor (www.galagal.com), Karen Sorbo, B.J. Jennings, Crystal Evans (www.capitalcityauctions.com), Leslie Hindman (host of HGTV's At the Auction), and former sotheby's auctioneer turned winemaker Ann Colgin.

Should you contact any of these people please give them my best regards.
