Whereas, also successfully running a homebased management consulting business, Claire Kuhl has become a mentor and esteemed friend to many other business women in her community; and

Whereas, the Women’s Leadership Council provides a secure setting for women in the Greenwood community to cultivate their professional and personal development and presents networking opportunities and quarterly meetings featuring seminars and group discussions on topics of special interest to women; and

Whereas, with over one hundred members, the Women’s Leadership Council offers a truly diverse association in a noncompetitive atmosphere for sharing ideas that can empower business women for success; and

Whereas, in recognition of the work of Claire Kuhl with the Women’s Leadership Council, the Small Business Administration named her a recipient of the 2010 Women in Business Champions award; and
