National Association of Professional Women Announces Maryann Johnson, Entrepreneur and Owner/Designer of Breakaway Sportswear, as VIP Woman of the Year
(PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- Maryann Johnson, B.A., M.S., is a successful Entrepreneur and the Owner/Designer of Breakaway Sportswear, a unique line of active wear, and CJ Spirits, a flourishing retail liquor store in New Jersey's Middlesex County. She has attained the highest level of membership to the National Association of Professional Women as a VIP Woman of the Year and has been recognized for outstanding leadership and commitment within her profession.
A born athlete, Ms. Johnson has been a lifetime advocate of daily exercise as a way to keep fit for herself and others. Her active participation in running and boxing has helped her to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Now a retired school teacher, Ms. Johnson's background also includes serving in the military and earning the distinction of being the first female surveyor in army history.
Breakaway Sportswear is the brainstorm of Ms. Johnson who was inspired while on a daily run. As an athlete, Ms. Johnson understood the need for exercise clothing that could work in tandem with the body's natural response to temperature changes. Many years of exercising helped her come up with an ingenious design idea that would enable an athlete to attach or detach portions of clothing as dictated by the weather or the wearer's temperature preferences. This simple idea was made possible with the use of Velcro® strategically sewn into the garment. Having secured a patent on her design, Ms. Johnson is preparing to go to the next level in building her business.
In addition to her growing sportswear business, Ms. Johnson and her partner are Owners of a liquor store that stocks the finest selections of wines and spirits. The success of CJ’s Spirits is due to the excellent service Ms. Johnson provides her customers. She is always ready to offer them the knowledgeable assistance they need to make the most appropriate choices for their wine and liquor purchases.
