It is such a pleasure to once again support the Rogers Women of the Year Awards…and this year they are celebrating 50 years!!

For five decades this program has been celebrating the women who make our community great and I am proud to join in that recognition as the sponsor of the Award for Entrepreneurs – 40 years and over.

I understand the adversity and challenges that women entrepreneurs face everyday. The women nominated in this category have started and led businesses that feed us, fill our lives with beauty and even help other entrepreneurs. Determination to succeed, innovative ideas, vision, collaboration and leadership are all characteristics associated with the women nominated in this category. Every small business has a story, and our nominees below all tell a story of excellence.

Congratulations to all the nominees for the Enterpreneur – 40 years and over:

Aura Hertzog, Sandy Mlotschek, Angel Marie Reiner, Mary Beth Kennedy, Linda Ockwell-Jenner, Jolanta Romel-Jarski, Kristy Miller, Ainsley Poirier-Craig
