Jess Brawner
, Director of People Operations, who works out of the Birmingham accounting office, has been selected for 2023 Momentum Upward, a career leadership program for women.
The program leverages Momentum’s expertise and network to help develop the next generation of talented leaders who are in early- and mid-career phases of development and were selected after a lengthy application process.
This is the fifth year of the program, and chosen participants will attend monthly, half-day sessions over a nine-month period.

“It is an incredible honor to participate in the Momentum Upward program,” said Brawner. “I look forward to collaborating with and learning from other professionals over the next nine months as we strive towards advancement in our careers. I can’t wait to implement what I learn and see how it will impact my professional and personal development and my career at Warren Averett.”
