The Enterprising Women of the Year Award honors the country's finest women entrepreneurs and their remarkable success. The award also recognizes the winners as leaders who have mentored and given back to other women in business and who have had a profound impact on their communities.

Award recipients will be honored at a gala dinner Friday, February 23, at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Lake Buena Vista, FL. “Ms. Dearth is an accomplished entrepreneur who has earned the respect and admiration of her community,” said Monica Smiley, publisher and CEO of Enterprising Women magazine.  “This award is a testament to her remarkable accomplishments and we are proud to see her honored for her success and business acumen.”

Ms. Dearth founded Incite Strategies in 1999.
