Women Entrepreneurs Organization
of Washington to Recognize Two
Outstanding WEO Members With
WEO Entrepreneur of the Year and
WEO Rookie of the Year awards

The Women Entrepreneurs Organization of Washington (“WEO”), a group of over 150 Washington businesswomen who meet monthly to share knowledge, network, and to support each other’s businesses, will award two of its members with the WEO Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the WEO Rookie of the Year Award. The WEO members will be honored with their awards at the next monthly meeting of WEO on February 21st, 2007 at the Heathman Lodge, 7801 NE Greenwood Drive, Vancouver WA 98662.

The WEO Entrepreneur of the Year Award recognizes a successful businesswoman and member who has shown dedication to WEO through volunteer efforts and leadership and who has had a positive impact on the organization. The WEO Rookie of the Year Award will be given to the WEO newcomer who has been inspiring other WEO businesswomen in the way she runs her business, launching it, getting through the hurdles of starting her own business and then being a benefit to WEO, such as bringing new members to WEO, promoting WEO and volunteering time and energy.

Last year’s recipient of the WEO Entrepreneur of the Year Award was LaVaune Cowl, owner of Automated Office Services, Inc., who has served as Treasurer for WEO for most of the years she has been a WEO member. The WEO Rookie of the Year Award is a new recognition award and has not been previously awarded.

About WEO: The Washington chapter of WEO was established in 1996 after a group of 20 businesswomen from the Vancouver area decided to break off from the Portland, Oregon Chapter. WEO serves as a support network for its members who benefit from an intra-membership exchange of ideas and business know-how.
