by Mary B. Adams | @LadyMissMBA We are thrilled to have been chosen as one of the winners of 2013 Lillie Knox Investing for Growth Awards! Lillie Knox was a vital and important part of the history and current success of the Women's Business Council - Southwest (WBCS) and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

Lillie passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer on November 10, 2003. In 2005, the award was created to honor Lillie for her support of women business enterprises through her commitment, spirit, passion and determination. Since then, women-owned businesses have received cash grants to help them fund a critical growth or business development need.

Congratulations to the other winners - we are very proud to be among you and wish you all the best in taking your business to the next level of success.
