CHICAGO, Ill. — On Monday, May 6, 2019, Jessica Merino of Merino Wealth Management received the Young Entrepreneur Award at the Annual Celebration NAWBO Chicago Achievement Luncheon.
The Young Entrepreneur Award showcases an outstanding individual for her business achievements and commitment to serving this organization. The winner of this award is an exemplary member who inspires us while propelling entrepreneurism forward.
At Merino Wealth we believe that all women deserve to be respected when it comes to their money and money is one tool we all have to drive us to the point of equality,” said Jessica Merino. “From supporting causes that help women and girls, to providing employees with a family leave benefit, to helping our clients invest their money in companies with women leadership I like to think we’re walking the walk.”
Reflecting on the honor, Merino stated, “this award meant so much to me as the women of NAWBO, who are leaders in their own fields, are such an inspiration to me.”
“It is a privilege to honor accomplished women at our annual Achievement Award Luncheon that showcases the diversity and success stories that inspire our community,” says Susan Gotham, President NAWBO Chicago.
