Throughout the Bay Area, women business leaders are making a real difference in their communities – mentoring others, leading by example, innovating within their industries and stimulating the local economy. At Women’s Initiative, we celebrate all women in business, and have created an award to showcase those who are going above and beyond. In 2009, Women’s Initiative launched the awards to recognize the powerful role women entrepreneurs play in developing our communities and the local economy, as well as to highlight women who are valuable role models and mentors to Women’s Initiative graduates. In the Fall of 2009, Women’s Initiative recognized more than 50 woman business owners from cities throughout the Bay Area at events in San Francisco, Oakland, Alamo, Mountain View and San Rafael, as well as on its website, in press releases and promotional materials and in advertisements in the San Francisco Business Times and San Jose Business Journal. |
Congratulations to the 2009 Woman-Owned Business of the Year Award Winners!
