Mannington recognizes three women who ‘Stand on a Better World'
Mannington Mills says that its Stand On a Better World Awards program aims to recognize women who make a difference. With the announcement of this year's winners, it is hard to dispute that claim. Among the recipients of this year's awards are the founder of a relief organization for impoverished Nepalese children, a humanitarian who started a non-profit dedicated to helping women and their families in West Africa, and a business leader paving the way for green-certified restaurants.
In all, Mannington received more than 500 entries for the second annual awards, the company says. Accepted online at www.standonabetterworld.com, the entries were judged by a distinguished panel of women in three categories: Social, Economic and Environmental. Judges included television personality Leeza Gibbons, figure-skating legend Dorothy Hamill, former N.J. governor Christine Todd Whitman and Deborah Bell, the grand prize winner of last year's awards.
