A Celebration!

Our annual Enterprising Women of the Year Awards commemorative issue gives us a wonderful opportunity to shine the spotlight on more than 50 outstanding winners and finalists of our awards program.

The awards recognition took place in late March at the Marriott Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami, with members of the magazine’s National Advisory Board on hand to help present the awards at a gala dinner.

In keeping with our annual tradition, we also hosted the Enterprising Women Hall of Fame awards luncheon and honored Virginia Littlejohn and Lillian Lambert as our 2010 inductees. They join 28 other outstanding women who have been inducted over the past decade, recognizing a lifetime of achievements.

Our awards celebration also marked the magazine’s 10th anniversary, and we celebrated by reflecting on the magazine’s role in strengthening the women’s business community that we serve.

We are unique as the only national (and increasingly international, with our growing global audience) magazine devoted exclusively to helping women business owners grow their businesses, published by a women-owned publishing company. We are also proud of the role we play to communicate news and events for every major organization that supports women’s entrepreneurship. We are part of a strong community of women, mentoring, inspiring, and supporting other women as we build our businesses and lead fulfilling lives.

We are already planning our 2011 Enterprising Women of the Year Awards event, and this issue always prompts calls and e-mails inquiring about next year’s awards program. If you are interested in nominating yourself or another woman business owner for our 2011 awards, visit our Web site after Oct. 1 for more information. Nominations are submitted in the fall through our Web site, winners are announced in late December, and the awards event is held in the spring.

Look for announcements about the awards program in upcoming issues or learn more by visiting our Web site at www.enterprisingwomen.com.

Congratulations to our outstanding 2010 honorees!
