“WBEs Who Rock” Contest Winners to be announced at MBE magazine’s “The White Party” 30th Anniversary Wrap Reception
Henderson, NV (PRWEB) June 19, 2015 -- MBE magazine’s 30th anniversary celebration started on June 23 last year in Philadelphia, PA, and “wraps” up on the same date this year in Austin, TX. “It’s hard to believe a year has already passed,” said Barbara Oliver, president of Enterprise Publishing Inc. and publisher of MBE magazine. “But it’s exciting to think we’re starting a new journey to the next 30 years.”
The Wrap Reception happens at the annual WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council) National Conference and Business Fair, immediately after the Welcome Reception and at the Hilton Austin.
The theme of the celebration is “The White Party,” and guests are requested to wear white cocktail attire. Highlight of the event will be the announcement of 14 winners of the WBEs Who Rock Contest, the second annual event conducted by MBE magazine. “Four of our winners have already been announced and are on the cover of our current May/June issue,” said Ms. Oliver. “However, you must attend our Wrap Reception in order to find out the remaining 10 winners. They won’t even know if they’ve won until they get there. Many submissions and nominations have been received and it was most difficult to single out the winners.”
The contest was open to all current WBEs who were also allowed to self-nominate this year. Due to the success of the contest, it is likely to continue in coming years.
Among the sponsors of this year’s event are Macy’s, who sponsored the May/June cover shoot, Kaiser Permanente, Artech Information Systems, Rose International, Southeastern Grocers, MGM Resorts International, Allstate, Johnson & Johnson, Shell, Red Kite Business Advisors, and Mosaic Global Transportation, who is the official ground transportation provider.
