Nominations accepted through May 31 for Renai Award The mission statement for Hilliard Women in Business: Women dedicated to the inspiration, education, support and celebration of the personal and professional success of other business women. The Renaissance is a period in time which has been known for its great intellectual, social and artistic pursuits. Taken literally, it was a time of rebirth. It has given his-
tory some of its greatest minds and contributions in many fields, which are still being felt 500 years later. In today’s ever-changing world, we feel that the contributions of women in business exemplify the multifaceted talents and interests of many of those figures. The talents necessary to achieve success within the workplace, making positive contributions to the
communities we serve and maintaining balance within our lives are far more difficult than at any point in history. As such, we would like to accept nominations for the Renai Award. The qualified candidate will be in her current business or industry for a minimum of two years, has a history of giving back to the Hilliard community and be a member of the Hilliard Area Chamber of
Commerce. The selection committee will also be looking for any recognitions or awards she has received related to her business or industry. Nominations must be sent to the Hilliard Area Chamber of Commerce by May 31, 2013. The award presentation will take place at our June 19 luncheon. See the nomination form on our website, hilliardchamber.org.
