Prestigious Awards Program Recognizes World’s Top Women Entrepreneurs
Rachel Sapoznik, CEO & president of Sapoznik Insurance, a North Miami Beach-based employee benefits agency, has been named a 2017 Enterprising Woman of the Year by Enterprising Women magazine. Sapoznik was presented with the award at the April 4, 15th Annual Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale.
The Enterprising Women of the Year Awards is widely considered to be one of the most prestigious recognition programs for women business owners. To win, nominees must demonstrate that they have fast-growth businesses, mentor or actively support other women and girls involved in entrepreneurship, and stand out as leaders in their communities. Many of the honorees also serve as leaders of the key organizations that support the growth of women’s entrepreneurship.
Out of the approximately 100 award winners, Sapoznik is one of only three from South Florida. She was a winner in the “over $10 million and up to $25 million in annual revenues” category. She was chosen from among hundreds of nominations from across the U.S., Canada, and around the globe. This year’s honorees include women entrepreneurs from South Africa, the United Kingdom, Kenya, The Netherlands, and several other countries.
As an honoree, Sapoznik participated in the April 2–4, 15th Annual Enterprising Women of the Year Conference at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale. The conference included two days of workshops, networking opportunities, and corporate sponsor exhibits. She also met with representatives from a number of Fortune 500 companies involved with the event.
“It’s humbling to be recognized as one of the world’s top women entrepreneurs by Enterprising Women magazine,” said Sapoznik. “I have been fortunate to work in an industry in which I am passionate about for over 30 years - healthcare and corporate wellness. Passion helped fuel my success, but I would not be where I am today if it were not for the incredible women in my life. We have a responsibility to help cultivate the next generation of enterprising women through unwavering support for one another.”
