A model on a mission

Congrats to PERC enviropreneur, Summer Rayne Oakes, for winning the  2011 Cartier Women’s Initiative Award in Deauville, France for her new business Source4Style.

On Wed, October 12th Benita and I gave our  30-minute oral presentation for Source4Style. Jury members deliberated that evening. And this past Friday, winners  were announced for each region during the Women’s Forum. When our project came up on screen as the North American Laureates, well…we nearly wept…It is such an honor to be recognized with all the other fabulouswomen in the group.

Learn more about Source4Style in PERC Reports and watch Summer at PERC’s Enviropreneur Institute here.
