I'm happy and truly honored to be the recipient of the 2007 Thelma Gibson Award of Excellence. I received the "Thelma" yesterday at the Women's Chamber of Commerce award luncheon at the Westin Colonnade in Coral Gables, Florida and am very proud to be named among the other outstanding women who were finalists as well as the former recipients of this prestigious award.
The "Thelma" was begun 7 years ago by the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Miami-Dade County to recognize an individual and a corporation who have excelled in promoting leadership, excellence and business development among corporate and professional women.
The award is named in honor of the Chamber founder, Thelma Gibson, a remarkable women who had the vision to create a wonderful organization where women could support one another in building their businesses, share ideas and work together for common good. She's an amazing woman and an excellent example of what one person can do to make the world a better place.
Thelma Gibson will be 81 years young on Monday. She continues to be actively involved in the community and refers to herself as a "professional volunteer." She is truly an inspiration. Happy Birthday, Thelma!
