Gottfried Woman of the Quarter Award
Each quarter, the Women In Business committee selects a woman who represents bringing HER BEST to the business she does, the community she serves, and embraces the NACC business community. This woman is honored at a Women In Business program amongst her peers. This award recognition is named after Heather Gottfried – a friend to the NACC and many women in business, a devoted businesswoman, and a shining example of how a strong woman can lead inside the community.
