Wibbey Award Categories:

Woman Business Owner of the Year: Many women dream of owning their own businesses. In fact, around 80% of our members are business owners. The recipient of this distinguished award consistently demonstrates that unique combination of hard work, flexibility, innovation, and the highest standards of professionalism, while maintaining equilibrium in other areas of her life. Her personal passion sustains the longevity of her business, setting a clear example that the dream of business ownership is well worth the effort.

Emerging Business of 2010: The recipient of this award opened her business between August 1, 2009 and August 1, 2010. Her business has already surpassed initial projections and has made a notable splash in our Eastside community.

The “O” Award (for innOvation, resOurcefulness & discOvery): Necessity is often the mother of invention. Sometimes, getting creative can lead you to places that you never expected to go. The recipient of this award had the vision to identify an opportunity, and the gutsy determination to seize the concept and bring it to market.

Most Influential Member of 2010 They say 90% of success is just showing up, yet being influential is about more than showing up. Influence is an ongoing act of generosity, a responsibility – not a popularity contest. The recipient of this award has been an active participant in EWIB, taking full advantage of every opportunity that is offered. She has made a significant impact in our organization through her contagious enthusiasm and consistent involvement.

The Queen of Hearts Award The honor of a lifetime, the Queen of Hearts award will be given to a woman of notable contribution and uncompromising commitment to women of the Eastside and beyond. She demonstrates the noble qualities of the heart – courageousness, compassion, openness, and generosity. Her cup runneth over- she is the ultimate mentor. The Queen of Hearts is the true wild card of the Wibbey Awards since all woman of the Eastside community are eligible for nomination and the general public gets to cast their vote simply by visiting our website (one vote per person).
