Design Factory co-founder recognized as Enterprising Woman of the Year

Design Factory co-founder and 25-year tradeshow veteran received the Enterprising Woman of the Year Award from Enterprising Women Magazine. Given to women business owners, the award is based not only on financial success, but also on leadership and community involvement as well.

In addition to recognizing women who achieve financial success and who stand out as leaders in their business or social communities, Enterprising Woman of the Year winners are those who support women and girl entrepreneurs. This must be active support, such as mentorship or leadership in their community. Many honorees are part of organizations that promote women’s entrepreneurship.
