The Stevie Awards for Women Entrepreneurs, www.stevieawards/women, is an international awards competition recognizing the accomplishments of women executives and business owners. The awards are produced by the creators of the prestigious American Business Awards, hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” by the New York Post (April 27, 2005).

More than 470 entries were submitted for consideration in over 40 categories, including Best Entrepreneur, Best Executive, Best Young Entrepreneur, Best New Product and Mentor of the Year, and Website of the Year. Anderson Performance Improvement was named as a Finalist in the category for Website of the Year.

Anderson Performance Improvement Company, the leader in behavior-based rewards and recognition programs, created a newly designed website that boasts a new look and feel with an abundance of available information pertaining to behavior-based performance improvement. The website educates users on the art of performance improvement, showcases the Company's many products and services, highlights the self-published book, Cream of the Corp by Louise Anderson, CEO, and provides a mechanism for users to get contacted by a live support person via the Incentives 411 button.
Louise Anderson stated, "Our Company recognizes corporate executives' need for current, timely information about performance improvement and our new website delivers."

“The winners and Finalists in the 2005 Stevie Awards for Women Entrepreneurs comprise the most dynamic women in business today. These executives and entrepreneurs have accomplished innovative and extraordinary things while building their businesses and serving their communities,” said Michael Gallagher, president of The Stevie Awards. “We congratulate all of them on their achievement.”

On receiving the award, Anderson remarked, "I am excited to be a Stevie Award Finalist. And I am honored to be recognized among the greatest women leaders in the world."

The Stevie Awards for Women Entrepreneurs are governed by a Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors that features many leading women entrepreneurs and figures in American business, including Carrie Fitzmaurice, publisher for Entrepreneur Media Inc.; Dr. Lisa Krinsky, chairman & president for SFBC International; and Dr. Betty Spence, president of The National Association for Female Executives.
