Tasha Norma, President, says "Each year, our Signature Awards committee takes the time to thoroughly research the nominees and become clear on why we select these women from among the list of all the amazing women in New York. Each year, this decision becomes more difficult and is a testament to the caliber of women who are business owners." The four Award categories are The Lifetime Achievement Award, Master Award, Promise Award, and Social Entrepreneur Award. This year's Award recipients are:
- Lifetime Achievement Award -- Ann Sachs, President & CEO of Sachs Morgan Studio, Theatre Design Specialists
- Master Award -- Suri Kasirer, President of Kasirer Consulting
- Promise Award -- Nandini Mukherjee, Founder & President of the Indian Bread Company
- Social Entrepreneur Award -- Hilda H. Polanco, Managing Director & Founder of Fiscal Management Associates.
The evening will be hosted by inspirational speaker and celebrity Bonnie St. John.
"As a member of the arts community it is particularly meaningful to me to be chosen for this award because it acknowledges 'the business of show business.' I am honored to be in the company of such impressive past recipients," says Ann Sachs, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Elaine Brodsky, owner of Citistorage, LLC was the 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and is an Honorary Chair for the 2008 Signature Awards.
