On the 50th Anniversary of D-Day in 1994, owner Jean Leducq threw a fair like celebration at Prince Michel Vineyard which included a military fly over, speech from Governor George Allen, and a seven course dinner for honored guests. Jean Leducq was a frenchman POW rescued because of what our American troops did this day 75 years ago, and honored them by inviting all remaining 29th Infantry Division survivors to celebrate over an amazing dinner. The vineyard purposefully sits off of US 29 north of Charlottesville officially designated as the “29th Infantry Division Memorial Highway” in honor of that Army unit, which, along with the 1st Infantry Division, formed the spearhead of the American infantry that landed on the morning of 6 June 1944 on Omaha Beach in Normandy as part of the invasion of France to liberate that country during World War II. Jean Leducq and his wife Sylviane started Prince Michel Vineyard and Winery and a few other international businesses which I supported as a Human Resources professional located in Culpeper, VA. I had volunteered to work the door as special guests arrived, and to my surprise was at the last minute invited to join them for dinner which included soulful singing by Jean Leducq. As couples were separated to engage conversation, I had the honor of sitting next to a 29th Infantry Division soldier who fought at Omaha Beach in Normandy 50 years prior.

InternAlliance’s Chief Executive Officer, Danielle Gruppo is pleased to accept the Most Dedicated Woman in Recruiting Services – California award presented by Aquisition International. The Influential Businesswoman Awards add voices to the masses who believe gender equality is the only solution for a sustainable global economy. Promoting and encouraging women to take part in entrepreneurial endeavors and providing opportunities in market-based enterprises is key to lifting communities across the world. Despite this however, it is recognised that female entrepreneurs still face many challenges, such as limited access to financing, training and business networks, in addition to the uncertain job markets and fluctuating economies shared with their male counterparts. Considering these additional burdens it seems imperative to recognize the achievements made by businesswomen globally; not just the 105 million self-employed women in the UK, or the 9.4 million woman-owned firms in the USA, but to all the businesswomen who have surmounted so many obstacles to attain professional success. ...
