It is truly an honor to be selected as the 2017 Kansas Women Business Advocate of the Year by the Kansas Department of Commerce, Office of Minority and Business Development. The awards luncheon featured Dr. Jeff Colyer, Kansas Lieutenant Governor, who presented all the awards in each of 16 categories.
I accept this award on behalf of all the women entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders whom I have coached, mentored and taught, and their commitment to continuous improvement. It is an honor to guide them through their growth challenges, and to achieve impactful accomplishments for their businesses and for themselves.
