CALGARY, Alberta - March 9, 2015 - PRLog -- International Women’s Day Weekend proved to be a fitting weekend to celebrate the achievements of Canadian women and moms who have developed businesses that innovate, improve and enhance the lives of people locally and around the world.  Andrea Iervella of Calgary, Alberta was named Canada’s Mompreneur® of the Year for 2015, and was awarded the esteemed Mompreneur® Award of Excellence along with a $35,000 prize package this weekend, at the 3rd Annual Mompreneurs®Conference and Awards held in Toronto.

This year’s winner kept the tradition of innovation and creating a niche business in an area that is generating a need. Andrea Iervella of Calgary Alberta started SchoolWorx – an archiving solutions for all your children’s artwork and creativity. SchoolWorx creates one-of-a-kind books using sophisticated art scanning technology and photography. Parents mail in boxes or totes of their kids favourite art work, school work or creations (that pile up with no where to go) for Andrea to archive in a personalized hard-cover book, and digital format disk, keeping all the memories and forgoing all the clutter. More info can be found at: www.SchoolWorx.ca

Women from across the country joined other likeminded business-women who happen to be moms or who juggle family responsibilities, young and old, while building businesses. There are over 1 million women across Canada who would be counted among the mompreneur crowd, with businesses ranging from dentistry, PR, law, real estate, coaching, counselling, designers, developers, tech, finance and sales to name a few.  Generating over $47 Billion into the economy each year these women are becoming key economic drivers and are changing the way women build careers and grow the workforce.

Maria Locker, CEO of  the Mompreneurs® Group had the task of announcing this year's winner during the awards luncheon, based on the voting and selection process that included the input of 8 judges.   “It was my sincere pleasure to announce Andrea as our winner for the 2015 Mompreneur® Award of Excellence; she absolutely epitomizes who a mompreneur is: smart, capable, innovative, and resourceful with a passion to make sure her family life doesn't suffer for her work life.” says Maria, “What Andrea has developed with SchoolWorx is unique and also intrinsically helpful to the broader community on so many levels; I'm excited at the many opportunities this year will hold for her, and look forward to helping Andrea push her business forward as Canada's Official Mompreneur® of the Year!”
