What Past Mompreneur® Awards Finalists & Winners Are Saying…
As a 2x Mompreneur of the Year Finalist, I am thankful for the lifelong friendships with other finalists. The media exposure provided was amazing for my business with spots on CHCH, Canada AM, CTV Kitchener and many others. I am very thankful for the opportunity Mompreneur provides to small business like Dressed to Deliver!”
Julie Berg – Dressed to Deliver * Finalist | 2014 & 2015 Mompreneur® Award of Excellence
Winning the Mompreneur® Award of Merit in 2016 was such a huge honour. I am so grateful for the friendships and the support I have gained through this movement. The publicity and prize package I earned as the winner assisted me in growing my business by 30 per cent this year. The coaching sessions were invaluable and the prize money allowed me to invest in further coaching to move my business forward. Thank-you to the whole Mompreneurs® team for all you do for us multi-tasking mamas!
Angie Wagenaar – Isagenix * Winner | 2016 Mompreneur® Award of Merit
Becoming a finalist for the 2016 Mompreneurs® Momentum Award was truly an honour and an experience I will always remember.The National Mompreneurs® Conference gets better each and every year, and is a reflection of CEO Maria Locker’s core values, and hopes to give women optimum opportunities for growth, camaraderie, education and empowerment in business and in life. Some of my favourite memories of the finalist process was the ongoing support and excitement from the Mompreneur® community, reflection and writing of the essay and learning about all of the inspiring missions and impact of the other finalists. The work they do through their services, products and charitable causes is astounding, pushing me to want to work even harder to make a difference in this world. I will be forever grateful to Maria and her team for their vision, hard work and multiple ‘goosebump’ moments before, during and after the conference, that will propel me to higher heights and the best version of myself that I can strive to be.
