It gives me great pleasure to nominate Cindy Morrison for this award. Cindy seems to have the "Midas touch" in everything she attempts. What most of us would consider "bad luck" or "the short end of the stick," for Cindy it's an opportunity. A perfect example of Cindy's fortitude is the seemingly premature end of her 20 year news career. Cindy took that "opportunity" to reinvent herself as an entrepreneur, and she has had significant success. Sometimes Cindy doesn't wait for opportunity, she creates it. She wrote Girlfriends 2.0 even though others discouraged her in this endeaver. Girlfriends 2.0, which ABC News calls, "savvy, sassy and an inspiration," is quickly becoming a cult favorite due to the book's motivating and uplifting message. Cindy shows you how to spot and dump Needy Nancy, Sabotage Susie, Helen Hater and other emotional vampires as well as expand your friend base past your comfort zone. You will will laugh and learn as Cindy helps you reboot and upgrade to Girlfriends who will always be there when it matters most. Cindy has always been enthusiastic, generous and compassionate, so it is not surprising that she has chosen a business that helps people improve themselves. As a consultant and professional speaker, Cindy's message of "Reinvention 2.0" teaches people how to reboot and upgrade through networking, social media and branding so they can make more money and live a better life. Cindy leaves people better than she met them-whether it is motivating someone, sharing her knowledge of business, being someone's personal cheerleader, or offering a friendly ear, Cindy will give you the tools to improve your situation and your outlook. Cindy is one of the most intelligent people I know. She is willing to share her knowledge to help those around her succeed and prosper. She has my wholehearted endorsement. You will be hard-pressed to find a more suitable person for this honor. Respectfully, Mandi Pritchard
