Femtor acknowledges the mentoring work done from a female experience and knowledge base. These experienced women seek out ways to teach, share their wisdom and help other women find their wings.
Made it to a Million Award
Current research shows that only 2% of women owned businesses generate revenues of $1 million annually. This award recognizes an outstanding eWomenNetwork member who has demonstrated exemplary leadership and business skills in the course of starting and growing her company. She must be the owner/CEO of a 51% woman-owned business that has a minimum of 5 full time employees with an annual company revenue of at least $1 million for the preceding fiscal year.

Self-described as 'the accidental spa owner,' Heidi Lamar purchased a commercial building 3 blocks North of the Scottsdale Fashion Square, that came with 2 tenants and a failing day spa. Enlisting her staff's help in learning the spa business, she eventually was rewarded by being named #7 on the 'Phoenix Best Places to Work' list, and recently as the "Best Day Spa, Best Massage & Best Facial" by Phoenix City Search. Allure magazine called Lamar's Shiatsu Massage "one of the most indulgent massages from Boston to the Bay Area".
