Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) August 06, 2013 -- South Florida business woman and pet industry entrepreneur, Mona Straub of Just Fur Fun® has been nominated for the 2013 WIPIN Pet Industry Woman of the Year Award. WIPIN is Women in the Pet Industry Network and is an influential networking group that provides pet professionals a place to grow, give and connect.
Mona Straub is the Founder and Designer of Just Fur Fun®, a premier pet accessory line that creates handcrafted beaded collars and leashes and other high quality products for pets and their owners. Just Fur Fun® was launched over two years ago from a corner in Mona’s home. With drive and passion, Mona has taken her creative outlet from a fun hobby to a wholesale and retail business venture. Launching and building Just Fur Fun® gives Mona an outlet for her creative side and, most importantly, it gives her a platform to share the good work that she does through her numerous community-based charitable ventures.
“Winning the WIPIN Woman of the Year award would not only be a personal thrill and a great business boost, but it will give me a fantastic platform to give back and share information about important causes. Networking and sharing resources with other women business owners is vital to my business and professional growth and this award would really give me the chance to supercharge connections,” explains Mona.
Women in the Pet Industry Network (WIPIN) is based out of Portland, Oregon and hosts an annual conference that brings together women pet professionals from varying backgrounds, including boutique owners, manufacturers, vets, groomers, trainers, artists and more. One of the highlights of the WIPIN conference in August 2013 is the first-time award of a WIPIN Pet Industry Woman of the Year. There will be one woman named Woman of the Year, but additional women will be honored with an award in the following categories: Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Corporate, Advocate, and Rising Star. Leading women will be recognized for their winning combinations of business smarts, giving back, networking and growth in their business and the pet industry.
The winners of all of the awards will be announced at the Women in the Pet Industry Awards Banquet at the annual conference in Portland, Oregon taking place August 23 to August 25, 2013.
