Daugherty named Region IX Women in Business Champion of the Year
Anaheim, CA -- Cathy Daugherty, a partner at Trademark Insurance in Anaheim
CA, has been named Region IX Women in Business Champion of the Year by
the U.S. Small Business Administration, Santa Ana District Office. Region IX
includes Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii and Guam. Her selection was
announced by J. Adalberto Quijada, District Director who commended Ms. Daugherty for her valuable
contributions to women’s programs. Ms. Daugherty was nominated by Barri Carian, former President
of the National Association of Women Business Owners, Orange County Chapter.
Ms. Daugherty was selected for her untiring efforts to increase business and financial opportunities for
women, advocacy of legislation that would benefit and protect women in business and her volunteer work
to strengthen the role of women in the business community. She has seized every opportunity to make a
difference.
When Ms. Daugherty started her business as an independent insurance broker in 1991, she immediately
became involved in her industry’s grassroots advocacy for health care. She began to travel annually to
Washington, D.C. and Sacramento to explain the needs of employers and employees concerning the
affordability and accessibility of health care. Ms. Daugherty took part in drafting legislation that has been
mentioned in the State of the Union address twice and was adopted by both Presidential Candidates this
past year. She is a passionate supporter of business issues at the local, state and federal levels, and is
committed to the advancement of women in business issues.
In 1995, Ms. Daugherty became a member of NAWBO and quickly took on leadership roles and lobbied
on behalf of women’s interests. As the President of NAWBO-OC in 2005-2006, her slogan was “The
answers are here!” She works to encourage and support all women business owners with the answers
and connections to grow their businesses. Under her leadership and direction, the membership grew
75% that year and increased revenues by 80%.
As a successful executive, Ms. Daugherty encourages her peers to utilize available resources. Five years
ago, Ms. Daugherty purchased her office building with an SBA loan. She has spoken on several panels
promoting the benefits of owning your own business and the support of the SBA. She has also taken
advantage of SCORE classes and counseling and recommended those services to others.
Ms. Daugherty has held numerous board positions, has extended herself as a mentor to countless
women and has advocated relentlessly for women business owners in the public policy arena. She
serves as a Wishgranter for The Make a Wish Foundation and on the Anaheim Chamber Board to set an
example of the importance of giving back to your community. Her two daughters are also very successful
businesswomen.
Cathy Daugherty and other small business owners and champions will be honored at the 46th Annual
Small Business Week Awards event on June 4th hosted by the San Manuel Band of Missions Indians in
the Yuhaviatam Room at 777 San Manuel Blvd., Highland, CA.
