HRBOR's President Among Women in Business Receiving Honor

Inside Business, the local business newspaper, will honor 20 women in the Hampton Roads business community for their accomplishments in their careers and contributions to their community. Among those being honored is my good friend Nicole Carry, the current president of HRBOR, the regions LGBT and LGBT friendly chamber of commerce. The awards ceremony is being held at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott. I and seven other HRBOR members will be attending the event which should offer great networking opportunities and spotlight HRBOR among members of the larger business community. HRBOR's mission statement is as follows:
*
Hampton Roads Business OutReach (HRBOR) is a broad based coalition of LGBT owned and LGBT supportive businesses and professionals dedicated to the development, growth and advocacy of Hampton Roads and its LGBT community. By promoting an environment in which diversity can flourish, HRBOR is committed to the economic growth and prosperity of our members and our community.
