paragon [ par-uh-gon, -guhn ] noun someone of exceptional merit.
It was important for me to make the definition of the word paragon available for reference before sharing our next #WomenInBusiness Series professional. Mrs. Sarah S. Harrison, MBA is a true paragon amongst her peers.

Two of Sarah's favorite mantras are:
