We have some exciting news to share. Each day we are inspired by the strength and visionary leadership of our founder and CEO Shannon Thompson. This November, Shannon has been named one of San Diego Business Journal's Most Admired CEOs! The San Diego Business Journal presents this award annually to "dynamic business leaders and role models, selected for their achievements and contributions to San Diego companies." Shannon's decade of work with women and girls and commitment to innovative business practices make her incredibly deserving of this award. Shakti Rising's business model is much more than business as usual. Shannon noted, "I am proud of the quality of our leadership team at Shakti... this is an award for all of us, proving that a different way of doing business is possible: restoring possibility, passion, and honoring relationships between people." In this season of reflection and thanksgiving, we have so many things to be grateful for. Being recognized for doing the work we love, and having the opportunity to serve our community alongside Shannon Thompson is truly an honor. Congratulations Shannon!
