BRASHEAR LP COO DAWN RUCKER ONE OF PA'S BEST 50 WOMEN IN BUSINESS
 

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, April 5, 2002: Recently, Brashear LP COO Dawn Rucker, was nominated by Congresswomen Melissa Hart to the Best 50 Women in Business 2002 competition. It was announced today that Dawn has been selected as one of Pennsylvania's Best!
 

This award recognizes the significant contributions Dawn has made to Pennsylvania's economic and community development. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) and the business journals of Pennsylvania sought candidates who shared a commitment to business growth, professional excellence and to the community -- women who are shaping the economic future of Pennsylvania.
 

An independent panel of judges selected Dawn based on her professional and personal accomplishments, community involvement, and advocacy for women in business. Created by Gov. Ridge in 1996, the awards recognize the significant contributions women make to Pennsylvania's economy. Gov. Schweiker states, "As business leaders, entrepreneurs and community role models...women are helping [Pennsylvania] distinguish itself as a center of innovation and technology development." Businesses owned and/or managed by women generate $34 billion for the Commonwealth.
