NAWBO-OC to Award Casco Contractors' Cheryl Osborn Business
Owner of the Year
Leading Casco from Revenue of $600,000 to $25 Million in 10 Years, Cheryl
Osborn is Recognized for Her Courage as a Woman Entrepreneur
IRVINE, Calif. (WOBWIRE.COM) -- The Orange County Chapter of the
National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO-OC) will
recognize Cheryl Osborn, founder and president of Casco Contractors, Inc.,
as Business Owner of the Year at the 2009 Remarkable Women Awards
dinner on Oct. 15.
"Cheryl, along with the two other amazing women being honored at our
annual dinner, wonderfully represents what NAWBO is all about," said
NAWBO-OC President Karen Gifford, Principal of Gifford Management &
Leadership Coaching. "Her passion for success and initiative to mentor
young women, combined with her unique vision in creating a construction
company founded on strong personal values, exemplifies her enterprising
spirit and why she is our courageous remarkable woman and winner of the
Business Owner of the Year award."
Cheryl Osborn represents "courage" among this year's awards' theme of
"Inspiration, Courage and Hope." As a woman entrepreneur in a
male-dominated industry, she has defied stereotypes and succeeded in
leading Casco Contractors, Inc., a Southern California-based general
contractor that specializes in commercial tenant improvement, from $600,000
to $25 million in revenue since its start in 2000. Under Osborn's direct
management and her drive to create the best general contracting company
in its class, she guided Casco Contractors, Inc. to become the 27th largest
woman-owned business in Orange County in 2008 and the eighth-largest
tenant improvement contractor in Orange County in 2009.
"As a mom, a mentor and a business woman, my job may not be easy, but
it's definitely rewarding," said Cheryl Osborn, founder and president of
Casco Contractors, Inc. "Women have come a long way, and although we
still face many challenges, we continue to overcome and succeed.
Organizations like NAWBO-OC, which honor professional women for our
multi-faceted roles, provide us with the motivation needed to achieve our
goals. I'm thankful to be considered Business Owner of the Year and plan to
use this honor to inspire young women entering the professional world."
Osborn graduated from California State University, Long Beach School of
Engineering with degrees in both Construction Management and Interior
Architectural Design. She began her career at medium-sized construction
and architecture companies working on large projects before directing her
focus on commercial tenant improvement. She currently lives in North Tustin,
Calif., mentors teenage girls through the American Association of University
Women and is a member of the Women Presidents Organization.
NAWBO-OC's 14th Annual Remarkable Women Awards will also honor two
other female business owners for developing successful organizations that
promote women's roles in society, business and at home. Heidi Miller,
founder of Tight Assets, and Laura Nebauer, founder and CEO of Deliver-It,
Inc., will be awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Entrepreneur
to Watch Award, respectively. The annual dinner will be held at the Hilton
Hotel in Costa Mesa, Calif. on Oct. 15, 2009.
