AIM, and other business organizations, over
the past several years she has become more involved with groups whose missions involve the growth and development of women and girls
— agencies ranging from the Women’s Fund to Dress for Success to Girls Inc.
Meanwhile, she has also become a role model and mentor for many women, although she’s far more comfortable with the latter role than the former, as we’ll see. And at her own

business — one that was and, in many ways, still is dominated by men — she has made it her mission to change that equation.
In fact, with the recent promotion of Deborah Dart, one of those Campbell has mentored, officially and unofficially, to operations manager, she now has a management team made up entirely of women.
“That was a goal I had, and it’s a goal I’ve achieved,” she said with discernable pride. “This company was all men at the start — we probably had women as file clerks — and now, the entire

leadership team is women.”
Speaking of Dart, she nominated Campbell to
be a Woman of Impact, and we’ll let her words drive home why she is now a member of the class of 2020.
“Carol’s success at CIC has paved the road and broken down barriers for other women in the industry,” she wrote. “She is now not the only woman in the board room or at the table. Her success at CIC has not come easy, but it has allowed her to pay it forward. Carol is known for sharing her thoughts and opinions, and she
has used her voice to help her company, her community, and her friends.”
Indeed she has, and this notion of using one’s voice is something that Campbell stresses often when mentoring others, a sentiment passed down by her mother, and now passed on by her.
It’s just one of reasons why she lives up the name of this BusinessWest recognition program — she continues to have an impact — a deep impact — here in
Western Mass.
