Stephanie Leader named Small Business Leader of the Year by local organization
The founder and president of one small business website recently made news for entrepreneurs after being honored by her local chamber of commerce.
Stephanie Leader, who heads Leaderpromos.com, a promotional products website, was named the Small Business Leader of the Year by the Columbus Chamber of Commerce. The award is given to businessmen or women who help companies in their region become successful in selling their products and services.
"It's a true honor to be recognized by the chamber. With the talent and resources available in Columbus, I couldn't imagine being in business anywhere else," said Leader. "The economy has been a challenge for many businesses and growing our company during this demanding time has been difficult, but rewarding. It's wonderful that we are being recognized for our hard work."
Leader and other winners were recognized at a local ceremony held at a hotel in Columbus on November 9, where representatives from the chamber handed out the awards.
Other businesses in Ohio were honored during ceremonies around the state. The Mansfield News Journal reports that the winners of the Small Business of the Year award in Richland County included Johnny's Mattress and Furniture Superstore.
