Heather has accomplished great strides during the start-up phase of her business and has proven that she truly believes in helping the industry grow.

Message From Heather: "To win any award is an honor. To win an award named after someone you highly respected and wished to emulate is an even greater honor. To win an award named after a legend and in which you were nominated by your peers is euphoric.

I didn't set out to win any awards when I started my business so it's a wonderful feeling to know that my peers think highly of me. I simply started my business to provide quality support to small business owners.
I am humbled and honored that my peers deem me worthy of this award."
