Embolden Recognized With Multiple Awards

Fast Growing Company Wins Prestigious Sloan Award For Third Straight Year

Embolden, one of New England’s premier web design, development and solutions companies, and Ann-Marie Harrington – its founder and president – were recently selected to receive three prestigious awards.

The U.S. Small Business Administration presented Embolden with the Rhode Island Minority Business Enterprise of the Year Award; the Northern Rhode Island YMCA selected Harrington for a Women of Achievement Award; and, for the third year in a row, Embolden won the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility.

As part of a Rhode Island salute to small businesses, Embolden, a woman-owned business, received the Minority Business Enterprise of the Year Award for 2008 “in recognition of your success within a highly competitive industry, and your efforts in fostering the development of other minority and women-owned enterprises by having demonstrated a willingness to assist these firms whenever possible.”

The YMCA’s Women of Achievement Awards are recognized nationally and are intended to increase awareness and appreciation of the diverse contributions of women. The 15 award-winners this year were selected for their work toward the economic empowerment of women.

The YMCA said of Harrington: “She practices an entrepreneurial spirit.” It also cited her achievements in winning the Sloan Award for Business Excellence.

As a 3-year winner of the Sloan Award, Embolden ranks as one of the country’s leading practitioners of progressive workplace policies. The Sloan Award is part of When Work Works, a nationwide initiative to highlight companies that have made real commitments to using workplace flexibility as a tool to enhance the success of businesses and employees.
