Kristin's quote for the event & award she took home that night!
|
These are the most prestigious
entrepreneurial awards for women entrepreneurs in Santa Barbara County,
and Kristin was one among over 90 outstanding nominees up for awards
that night.
So what are these awards all about? In their own words, "The Spirit of Entrepreneurship™ Foundation’s
Spirit of Entrepreneurship Awards™
are designed to recognize the contributions of outstanding women
entrepreneurs in Santa Barbara County to the economy as well as to
support future economic growth through the recognition, financial
support, and education of student entrepreneurs."
The non-profit behind these awards, the Spirit of Entrepreneurship
Foundation, has a mission to, "support entrepreneurship at all levels in
Santa Barbara County," and hosts the yearly award ceremony as a means
of carrying out this mission. In addition to honoring local women
entrepreneurs, they provide the next generation of entrepreneurs with
both recognition of their efforts thus far as well as with financial
assistance in the form of both scholarships and seed capital to support
the continuing efforts of these driven individuals.
The Grapeseed
Company is pleased to have been a part of this effort and honored that
Kristin has been recognized for all of her exceptional qualities, not
the least of which is her round-the-clock dedication to making our
business ever the better, a true labor of love and the reason that we
exist.
Congratulations, Kristin!
