Awards Committee
By Karen Hansen, NJAWBO-Mercer Awards Committee

It's time to think about nominating someone for the Business Woman of the Year Award. This award honors a woman business owner who is a NJAWBO member and who has distinguished herself in her business, in NJAWBO, and in her community. Members are eligible after they have been business owners and NJAWBO members for at least three years. A member may be nominated more than once, but may receive this award only once; members may also nominate themselves. Nominations should be submitted to me before February 1, 2005.

Nominees are evaluated on the following criteria:

• History of growth of business


• Expansion or uniqueness of business


• Achievements and contributions


• Career development (seminars, courses, etc.)


• Professional affiliations and offices held


• Awards and honors

Do you know someone who deserves to be named Mercer Chapter's Business Woman of the Year? If you do, please submit her name to me before February 1.

If you would like to be a member of the Awards Committee, please contact Karen Hansen at 732-398-9809 or khansen@aol.com.
