The SWIBA Awards Celebrates Women in Business and Takes Solo-Entrepreneurship to New Heights

    COLUMBUS, OH, January 18, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stiletto Woman Media (www.stilettowoman.com) has celebrated women business owners since 2009. Through the company's award initiative they've honored prolific women across United States and Canada--notable honorees include Mary Mazzio, an Olympian and nationally acclaimed filmmaker; attorney Marshawn Evans of Donald Trump's "The Apprentice", and Cindy Morrison, Emmy-Award winning journalist to name a few. Simultaneously, pioneers such as Dr. Connie Mariano, the first military woman to become the White House physician to the President of the United States have graced the cover of the organization's signature publication, Stiletto Woman Magazine.

In 2012, the company continues its mission of empowering women by presenting the third annual Stiletto Woman in Business Awards (SWIBA); one of the first national comprehensive award programs to honor everyday women in the solo and micro business sector. The SWIBA Awards is a unique hybrid event supported by a national advisory board. The celebration is a cross between a business conference, an empowerment workshop, and a networking social. All bases have been covered to create a valuable experience for women in business.

"The SWIBA Awards honors the monumental efforts of everyday women business owners, particularly those operating smaller entities that often go under the radar," says Wallace, founder and CEO. "These leaders redefine conventionalism and create their own success, all while changing lives."

The speaker line-up includes thought-leaders and national personalities such as Shirley Strawberry of the nationally syndicated radio show "The Steve Harvey Morning Show"; bestselling author and Atlanta trailblazer, Robyn Spizman of A Legendary Event; Danielle Knox Ross, entrepreneur and host of Lifetime Television's "The Balancing Act"; Stacie Francombe, creator of Get Married Media, past host of "Get Married" on WeTV and founder of Inspire Smart Success, plus many more compelling entrepreneurs.

The SWIBA Awards will take place in Atlanta, Georgia on March 17, 2012 at the Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta Airport from 8:30am - 5:00pm. During this one-day ceremony, attendees will be inspired and equipped with practical strategies to excel in business. The event is open to the public; however tickets must be purchased in advance.
