December 2nd, 2011
Saskatoon, November 29. Women of Influence has named Betty Anne Latrace- Henderson the recipient of the 2011 PROFIT Award for Excellence in Entrepreneurship. Betty-Anne, President of Airline Hotels, was honoured at a gala event in Toronto last night, along with other finalists of the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards.
Each year, the PROFIT Award for Excellence in Entrepreneurship goes to a woman entrepreneur who has built a successful company with a track record of growth, profitability and industry leadership. The award recognizes the entrepreneur’s skills, success, drive, managerial acumen, leadership traits and role as a model for all who believe in the power of entrepreneurship.
“Entrepreneurship is one of our values,” said Betty-Anne, “and something that we encourage each of our associates to express. We want people to ‘own’ their hotel properties and the work they do there. I am sharing this honour with the 800+ entrepreneurs working with Airline Hotels.”
