May has been an amazing month of recognition for the Trusted Team and we are thrilled to share that  S & E Trusted Online Directories Inc founder Sara Wheelwright was the recipient of the 2014 YWCA Saskatoon  Women of Distinction Award in the Entrepreneur category on May 29th. 

The 33rd Annual YWCA Women of Distinction Awards® celebrate the best in women’s achievements, across industry, culture and public service, honouring ordinary women for their extraordinary contributions to the Saskatoon community.

The YWCA Women of Distinction Awards are recognized nationally among the most prestigious awards for women. Now in their 33rd year, the awards have celebrated the best in women’s achievements, with over 800 individuals nominated to the ranks of the Women of Distinction in Saskatoon.

The 37 outstanding and inspirational finalists in the 10 categories were all nominated, they then had to submit letters of support and provide back ground information about their achievements and why they were leader in their categories.  All applications were  then submitted to a judging panel and the winners were  announced at the wonderful ceremony in the Grand Salon at TCU Place Saskatoon, in front of a full house!   

The event is important for many reasons, not least because it raised over $180,000 for the Saskatoon YWCA!
