At a recent meeting the Business Women of Fayette and Coweta awarded Doterra representative Cathy Geis with Business Woman of the Year. At the same meeting Golf Rider co-owner Patti Kadkhodaian was presented with the Better Community Award.<\/p>\n

Each year the BWFC offers two major awards. Organization members nominate and vote on the Business Woman of the Year award. This last year there were a record twelve nominees.<\/p>\n

She coordinates monthly networking meetings for the organization, including The Gathering at Grazing Here, next taking place at noon on Friday, February 14. Interested business women can visit the website at www.bwfcc.org<\/a><\/span> to register.<\/p>\n

Why did Cathy Geis win? According to BWFC President and The Citizen Editor Ellie White-Stevens, it\u2019s all about her professionalism, \u201cCathy Geis really has it together. She is 100% reliable, friendly, and intelligent. She is a natural problem solver who is always willing to step into the gap for us. Our members trust her and love her. She\u2019s been known to call members and visitors who register and then don\u2019t come to meetings just to make sure they are okay. It\u2019s her big heart that makes the difference.\u00a0 <\/span>It really showed up even in nominations. She received not one, but three nominations for this award! She absolutely deserved to be honored in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s the President of Rotary, and the Board of Advisors Chair for our BWFC Board. Patti lives a life of selfless service.
