The task of determining who will win one of the four Awards being presented at this year’s 2017 National Mompreneurs® Conference will now be left up to an expert panel of judges. The winner will be chosen based on a select set of criteria for each award including track record of success; product innovation of business idea; growth potential and scalability; revenue; inspiration to others; and impact on the community.

Nutrition Bites empowers others with practical skills, such as cooking lessons and mindful eating workshops, to become more confident in their daily health choices. The company recently launched Growing Up Healthy Seed to Fork Kits, an affordable food literacy activity for all ages and stages.  It teaches the connections between growing food at home and cooking fresh ingredients while encouraging healthy eating. Conceived by Sandra, this social enterprise started in response to the confusing and contradictory health messages constantly facing consumers. Sandra is excited to be a Mompreneur Top Finalist. “It recognizes my hard work and efforts in my first years of business but also shares my passion and story.  I hope it encourages other women and our daughters to design their dream jobs!”
