It is our privilege and honor to share with you that elan woman has received the 2009 Utah Best of State Award, Arts & Entertainment: Publication.This particular award has great meaning to all of us at elan woman. First and foremost, it recognizes the tireless hours spent on each issue by our team of women (& a few guys) working on every issue delivering meaningful stories written by talented individuals. It is a tribute to the AMAZING designers who have worked with us from the very beginning to bring to life the visions dancing around in my head (causing potential drinking problems to which I make no apologies at this time j/k). This award symbolizes the excellence of our photographers who share their abilities to capture the essence of each story through their lens in a way that connects the reader on an intimate level. And this award says thank you to our supporters who have shared their very souls in our pages to elevate the spirit of another.
What also makes this award deeply meaningful is that it honors our publication intertwined with our events, humanitarian awareness, social media efforts, sponsorships, and our connection with our advertisers that solidified elan woman as the winner of this award.
So with the utmost of sincerity, thank you - thank you for being a part of our world. Thank you for assisting elan woman in its infancy to be recognized in this very big way. Thank you for believing in the vision of elan woman and being an actual part of a grass roots concept that is constantly evolving into something better every day. And on a personal note, I thank you for giving so much, then giving more.
