Women Achievers: Nadine Gomez & Marcia Amoroso

Marcia Amoroso
Board -Burbank Chamber of Commerce
Owner, President of Escrows, Inc

After working at Escrows, Inc for over 20 years, Marcia Amoroso purchased the company from her employer in May 2003. She now serves the 26-year-old company as its president and owner. Marcia is a member of the Burbank Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Burbank, and an affiliate for the Burbank Association of Realtors and Relay for Life.

Marcia believes that success comes in many forms. It includes anything from taking the first step into a new venture, to being married to the same individual for 35 years. She feels that facing your fears is a form of success, as well as stepping outside the comfort of corporate employment into entrepreneurship by purchasing your own business. She feels that true success includes giving help to others when they need it, having the ability to humble yourself to ask for help when you need it, and to remember that receiving is just as important as giving.

Marcia credits her brother and mother for providing guidance to her in both business and in her personal life. She believes that women today work harder than ever before. She feels that women not only work diligently in the business world, but often are the ones who step up to the plate to fight for the safety of their children in an ever-changing world. They spread themselves very thin, she says, juggling family, work, charity, and the socioeconomic challenges of todays world.

The challenge, she believes, is keeping your integrity in tact, being respectful to yourself and to others, stating the truth and not creating unnecessary havoc.

Nadine credits a positive attitude and open mind as key components for achieving success. The ability to admit mistakes to yourself, learn from them, and then move on is one of the first steps on a successful career path.

When complex obstacles challenged her, she turned to her family and mentors. After many years of professional experience, Nadine finds it rewarding to mentor others. She considers giving back as the nourishment that helps her continue on her own path.
