Katrina Hase of Mix Creative accepts the 2010 "Destined to WIN" award from Women in Networking Director, Teresa Thomas-Carrol
We were SO thrilled to win the 2010 Destined to Win Award! The entire day at the Destined to WIN in 2010 conference was a blur of greeting familiar faces, meeting inspired business owners, and learning from experts in the three breakout sessions. But I have to say, the highlight for me was being one of three WIN members (also including Kris Jamieson and Maureen Heinen) honored with an inaugural WIN award—what an amazing honor, in a room full of such accomplished women. Thank you!
