Felena Hanson, Founder and Franchisor of Hera Hub, a San Diego based female-focused coworking space, was named the Women In Business Champion of the Year by the San Diego Small Business Association.
Hanson was chosen above other leading female entrepreneurs for this prestigious award because of her efforts to increase business and financial opportunities for women. She advocates for women-owned businesses through her three San Diego based coworking spaces, exemplifying her effectiveness in improving the environment and experience of female business owners.
“I’m honored to receive this award by the SBA because they too are instrumental in supporting women in the launch and growth of their businesses,” said Felena Hanson.
Every year since 1963, the U.S. Small Business Administration takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from across the nation through National Small Business Week.
“As America celebrates the 51st Small Business Week, this is an excellent opportunity to honor the small businesses that have helped make our nation great,” says SBA San Diego District Director Ruben Garcia. “SBA has helped well over 30 million Americans start, grow and expand their businesses, placing tens of billions of dollars in loans into the hands of entrepreneurs in all sectors of the economy.”
The SBA will commemorate each recipient at its annual Small Business Awards Breakfast on June 11, 2014 at the Town and Country Resort and Conference Center.
