Jennifer Lewis, Lewis Web Solutions to Receive SBA State and Regional Awards as Home Based Business Champion for 2008

Abingdon, Maryland, April 2, 2008 -  Jennifer Lewis, President of Lewis Web Solutions, has been slated to receive two Small Business Administration awards in connection with the Small Business Administration's National Small Business Week 2008.  The SBA's Maryland chapter gives the awards each year to recognize outstanding small business owners and the service providers who support them.  Ms. Lewis was nominated for the Home Based Business Champion Award by the Small Business Development Center at Harford Community College in Bel Air, Maryland. After competing against other nominees from throughout the state of Maryland, Ms. Lewis was selected as the 2008 Home Based Business Champion for 2008 by the Baltimore Chapter of the Small Business Administration.

After receiving the award at the District level, Ms. Lewis' nomination then competed against those from 6 other Districts within the SBA's Region III, including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Delaware, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Richmond.  Ms. Lewis was also recognized as the winner of the 2008 SBA Region III Home Based Business Champion of the Year award.   

"This is an incredible honor to not only be recognized at the state level for Maryland, but to achieve recognition at a regional level competing with such major markets in our region is astounding," Jennifer Lewis commented.  "As a home-based business owner, I find great satisfaction in helping other business owners achieve success by having professional and affordable website services.  For many of my clients who are home-based, their website is the first impression of their business that a client receives.  We make those first impressions into professional and effective marketing tools."

Jennifer Lewis serves as Vice President of the Chesapeake Professional Women's Network, and as Vice-Chair of Operations for the Greater Edgewood Education Foundation.  She is also a member of the Harford County Chamber of Commerce, the Route 40 Business Association, and the Chesapeake Business Consultants.
