Smart CEO magazine selected Janet Amirault, Software Consortium’s CEO, from a group of 250 nominated women business leaders to win the distinguished 2011 Brava! Women Business Achievement Award. The award recognizes exemplary leaders who encourage local philanthropy, mentoring, and set their companies on the path to tremendous growth.

Amirault was recognized at the Brava! Awards ceremony held July 13th at the American Visionary Art Museum and in the July edition of Smart CEO magazine. Amirault remarked at the event, “Women-owned businesses are putting people back to work and leading our nation out of the recession! I am proud to be among this extraordinary group of women.”

“The Brava! Awards honors women who embody the true meaning of leadership within their business and community at large,” said Georgia Thomas, Programs Manager, SmartCEO Publishing. “Janet is a shining example of what this award stands for and serves as an inspiration to women leaders across the Mid-Atlantic. We are thrilled to have recognized her!” Highlighted at the awards ceremony was Amirault’s remarkable recovery from a health issue, which put her on a course as a health resource and fitness advocate for others.
