The past few weeks have been crazy for us here in the Cree household. Lots of great things going on.
One in particular I wanted to highlight for you is that Gorgeous was recognized last week for her outstanding achievement as an Entrepreneur. The local Savannah organization, A Working Woman in Need (AWWIN), hosts an award gala every year to honor the top working women in the city.
Gorgeous was nominated and selected to receive the honor for their Entrepreneur category.
That meant that I had to go find a tux to rent. Haven’t done that since we were married years ago.
Our local paper even had a little write up about the awardees the next morning.
Add to that the press release that went out and you begin to see why I keep telling folks that I married up!

(Savannah , GA) Lisa Cree, Executive Managing Director of eWomenNetwork of Savannah was awarded one of Savannah‘s “Top 10 Working Women of the Year for 2007” by the local non-profit charity: A Working Women in Need, Inc. (AWWIN, Inc.). Lisa was awarded for the Entrepreneur category. The AWWIN, Inc. Awards Gala was held last night at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Savannah. “I am humbled to be chosen for this award. The business women of the Savannah Chapter of eWomenNetwork are the real success and this award is their award” stated Ms. Cree.
To meet the growing need for the promotion of women in business in Savannah, Ms. Cree’s entrepreneurial venture culminated with the launch of eWomenNetwork of Savannah , the local chapter of the 17,000 member international membership-based organization connecting female business owners and professionals throughout North America . The Savannah chapter has grown to 70+ women business leaders in one year.
eWomenNetwork is Savannah ‘s most successful organization providing marketing opportunities for local women business leaders. eWomenNetwork is a community of women-owned business leaders who support and network with other dynamic women. This organization helps women access needed resources and creates business relationships that move from interActions to transActions. Local Accelerated Networking events are held monthly, along with other events including Strategic Business Introductions. Event information can be found at www.ewomennetwork.com or by calling 912-927-2838.
The Local Chapter also raises funds for 2 programs: A) The eWomenNetwork Foundation’s Grant Award program, which will bring money back to a local non-profit that assists women and children in Savannah, and B) The Emerging Business Leader program, which honors and mentors a young emerging leader in the community. The Chapter recently sent Lisa Scarbrough, President and Founder of Coastal Pet Rescue, Inc. as an Emerging Leader Finalist to the International eWomenNetwork Conference this past June.
eWomenNetwork of Savannah events host their monthly Accelerated Networking Events on the third Tuesday evening of each month from 5:00 – 7:30 PM at the Hilton Garden Inn Midtown Savannah located on Abercorn near Derenne.
