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."
