New York (October 26, 2006) - Since launching the 2006
Make Mine a $Million Business program in March, more
than 15,000 women entrepreneurs from across the country
have joined the Make Mine a $Million Business community
to build million-dollar businesses by 2010. And at the
final event of the year held Tuesday in New York, twenty
successful and inspiring business owners were awarded
mentoring, money, marketing, business services and
technology assistance to turn their million-dollar
dreams into reality.
Make Mine a $Million Business (www.makemineamillion.org)
is a program of Count Me In for Women’s Economic
Independence and Founding Partner OPEN from American
Express®. It is the only national initiative committed
to the growth needs of post-start-up, women-owned
businesses with less than $1 million in annual revenues.
These businesses account for 97 percent of all
women-owned firms in the U.S.
“One million women at one million dollars in revenues by
2010 means a possible four million new jobs and $700
billion to the US economy,*” said Susan Sobbott,
president, OPEN from American Express. “Make Mine a
$Million Business has received an overwhelming response
this year from women across the country as well as a
critical mass of support from corporate America and the
important backing of visionary leaders like Senator
Hillary Rodham Clinton. Make Mine a $Million Business is
picking up steam and is looking forward to 2010 as the
movement grows one woman entrepreneur at a time.”
"Women are changing America with their ideas, innovation
and entrepreneurship," said Senator Hillary Rodham
Clinton. "Make Mine a $Million Business provides women
business owners with the confidence to succeed and the
resources necessary to build million dollar
enterprises."
“The Make Mine a $Million Business Award marks a
significant achievement for OnShore Technology Group and
represents our commitment and dedication to achieving
our million dollar revenue goal. I am deeply grateful
for Nell Merlino and the outstanding team at Count Me
and their sponsors for making this happen for all of
us,” said Valarie King-Bailey, CEO of OnShore Technology
Group.
