    CONROE, TX, September 07, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Carol Gooch, Founder and Executive Director of Montgomery County Association of Business Women (MCABW), has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Carol Gooch will be featured in Women of Distinction Magazine in 2016/2017.

Established in 2005 by Founder and Executive Director Carol Gooch, Montgomery County Association of Business Women (MCABW) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a forum for area business women to develop and enhance their professional and personal relationships with their peers. MCABW welcomes all ages and ethnicities in an effort to support one another in various aspects of their lives, a place where they can become better and stronger in their roles, with the help of other members' support and guidance. Offering not only financial guidance, but also ways in which to improve overall physical and mental health, the organization offers scholarships to selected female high school graduates of Montgomery County, contributes monetarily to other local non-profits to support their causes, and participates in several other events to contribute to the success of the community.

"This isn't just a job for me, it's a way of life," Gooch said. "Empowering other women to be successful in their own journeys is what I love to do. Watching them grow and blossom is an amazing thing to witness, and here at MCABW I am able to continue helping others the best way I know how."

In April 2016, MCABW hosted an annual fundraiser, called 'This is How We Roll', at Volkswagen of The Woodlands. The men and women's fashion show was a huge success, with jewelry raffled off to attendees and chances to win a car and other prizes. Raising a total of $20,000, all of the proceeds from the event went toward college scholarships for female, graduating seniors from Montgomery County High Schools. Future events include: The Wise Conference, September 28, 2016, Lone Star College System, The Woodlands, Texas, 9am-4pm; and the Annual MCABW scholarship fundraiser, April 6, 2017, Volkswagen Dealership, The Woodlands, Texas, 6pm-9pm to raise money for college scholarships to be awarded to female graduating seniors in Montgomery County.

A Licensed Professional Counselor for many years, Gooch earned her BS in Childhood Development/Psychology at Florida State University in 1972 and her MS in Guidance and Counseling at Troy University in 1974. She is also certified to teach children, families, and chemical dependent individuals in the state of Texas. Gooch is also a 2003 Leadership Montgomery Country graduate and has earned numerous accolades for her work in the community, including a Lifetime Membership with The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce.
