WebAdvantage.net CEO Hollis Thomases Named 2008 “Enterprising Woman of the Year”

Havre de Grace, MD, January 24, 2008 — WebAdvantage.net, (http://www.webadvantage.net) a results-centric, process-driven strategic search marketing and online advertising agency today announced CEO Hollis Thomases has won the prestigious “Enterprising Woman of the Year Award” in the “more than $1 million and up to $5 million” category. Award recipients must demonstrate that they have fast-growth businesses, they mentor or actively support other women and girls involved in entrepreneurship, and they stand out as leaders in their communities. Monica Smiley, publisher and CEO of Enterprising Women magazine, will recognize and honor Thomases and other winners at the sixth annual, three-day tribute to North America’s top women entrepreneurs from Feb. 28 to March 1, 2008 at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The Walt Disney World Company and UPS are event sponsors (http://www.enterprisingwomen.com/EW2008awardsprogram.htm).”An unprecedented number of outstanding women entrepreneurs were nominated through our website in October and November 2007, and the judges selected an outstanding group of women who are very deserving of this recognition,” Smiley said. “Many of these women are also leaders in the key organizations that support the growth of women’s entrepreneurship. We have the privilege of bringing together the nation’s finest women business owners to recognize and celebrate their accomplishments.”

“Winning this auspicious award is deeply gratifying,” said Thomases. “Although success is its own reward, being recognized by other entrepreneurial women and Enterprising Women magazine ranks right up there for me with being named the 2007 Maryland ‘Small Business Person of the Year’ by the SBA. My agency team always was and still is powered primarily by industrious working women. Marketing to working mothers and female Baby Boomers is a major focus for my boutique online marketing agency.”
