Shreveport Businesswoman Named 2010 Most Powerful and Influential Woman

Sept. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Crystal Brown-Tatum, CEO of Crystal Clear Communications, has been named a 2010 Most Powerful and Influential Woman by the National Diversity Council. The award will be given Friday, September 17th at the Louisiana Conference for Women in Baton Rouge. Honorees are recognized for their commitment and hard work. Political strategist and author Donna Brazile will serve as the key note speaker and the conference is a statewide event focusing on professional development, community, networking, entrepreneurship and women's health.
