All Medical's Deborah Wolf Honored as NAWBO WE Excel Award Finalist

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Atlanta, GA, United States, 03/31/2008 - The Atlanta Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners named Deborah Wolf, President of All Medical Personnel, one of five finalists in the 2008 Women Entrepreneurial Excel Awards.

Deborah Wolf, President of Atlanta based All Medical Personnel (allmedicalatlanta), is one of five finalists chosen to be recognized by the Atlanta Chapter of the National Association of Women business Owners (NAWBO) in presenting their annual Women Entrepreneur Awards (WE Awards) for the 2008 Women Business Owner of the Year. The five finalists were selected from twenty-three outstanding women in Georgia who received nominations. As stated by NAWBO, to be considered for the WE Excel Award, a nominee will have “...owned her business for at least five years and demonstrated exemplary business achievement, customer growth, community leadership, industry influence and entrepreneurial success in the past year. She is also a woman who has earned public recognition and serves as a mentor for other women.”Highly involved in daily operations since launching her firm in 1991, Wolf, an attorney, chose to enter the staffing business because she takes great pleasure in helping people achieve their goals and gain better quality of life. “My team and I take the time to understand the intricate needs and goals of both the employer and the job candidate,” Wolf says. “To accomplish that objective, we address every matter that arises,” she adds. For instance, when Wolf learned that some of her applicants could not afford to purchase uniforms for the positions they sought, she provided them. “I was able to obtain a supply of uniforms,” says Wolf. “A little initiative can make a big difference.” In 1997, she took that concept a step further when she launched Working Wardrobe, a nonprofit organization that provided professional suits and dresses to women who desperately needed jobs but didn’t own a proper interview outfit. “With my passion for fashion and the commitment of numerous volunteers, many competent women not only looked the part when they went to work, but they felt confident as well,” says Wolf. Working Wardrobe merged with Dress for Success in 1999 and continues to serve Atlanta today.Over the years, Wolf has earned numerous awards while being acknowledged in a variety of publications. Most recently, Wolf and company were spotlighted in the “Living in Atlanta” Winter 2008 quarterly supplement of the Atlanta Business Chronicle for the eclectic artwork that contributes to the lighthearted atmosphere in her offices. “For over 20 years,” says Wolf, “Atlanta has provided tremendous opportunity for me on professional and personal levels. If you give your heart to Atlanta, this city gives you so much more in return.”
