We are thrilled to report that not one but two
Women Presidents' Organization Chicago members have been inducted into the prestigious
Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame (through the Coleman Foundation Entrepreneurship,
Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago).
Category: Classic Start-up and Lifetime EntrepreneursThe new members are:
• Francine Manilow, President (pictured left),
Manilow Suites (downtown I member)
• Jennifer Bertoglio, Founder, President & CEO (pictured right),
LawyerLink (downtown II member)
Those inducted into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame embody the entrepreneurial spirit of Chicago area businesses: a determination to succeed, an unsurpassed commitment to excellence, and the rare ability to meet challenges and recognize opportunities through innovation, proactiveness and risk taking.
The Judges and their world-class sponsors, American Chartered Bank, Grant Thornton, Allscripts, MarketM and Crain's Chicago Business welcomed Francine and Jennifer as members this evening, February 25th, at the Chicago Hilton and Towers.
Of the many thousands of entrepreneurs in the Chicago area, the students, faculty, sponsors, and Judges select very few winners each year so this is quite an accomplishment for Francine and Jennifer.
We are very proud of them; congratulate them on this great achievement and wish them continued success. More importantly, we are very proud that they are WPO Chicago members.
