This month the winners of the 5th annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business were announced at the awards dinner in New York. This year I have the honor once again to be on the Board of Distinguished Judges.

- Best New Product of the Year: MyStrategicPlan Software, M3 Planning Inc, Reno, NV
- Best New Service of the Year: Thyme for School, Thyme Out, Gaithersburg, MD
- Blog of the Year: Theglasshammer.com by Nicki Gilmour, Evolved People Media LLC, Brooklyn, NY

Just a little note to say that being a woman myself and being in business too, I think that it is just fantastic to reward hard working and smart women once a year in an event as glamourous as this one. It is such a huge inspiration for all of us women to see that some of us are being acclaimed for their work and skills: it kind of make us proud for them
In my mind, empowering women is such important that it is a part of my work too. Being a life coach and business coach, I like helping them to reclaim their self esteem as it is very rewarding. And being a certified web designer too, I think that it’s fantastic to see so many women being now part of the internet marketing community!
Well done, girls .. but there is still plenty to do, many web sites to design and tons of niche markets to conquer: so keep up the good work
