Sidney, NY-based Independent Journalist Honored by Syracuse District SBA

Sidney, NY -- The Syracuse District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration recently named local businesswoman Dawn Rivers Baker as Small Business Journalist of the Year.

Ms. Baker was honored for her work as journalist and editor of The MicroEnterprise Journal, an Internet-based news weekly for microbusiness owners and the self-employed. Baker's publishing company, Wahmpreneur Publishing, Inc., also publishes a print newsletter called The MicroEnterprise Monthly, and management books under the company's Wahmpreneur Books imprint.

Ms. Baker's name was placed in nomination for the award by Don Wilson, president of the Association of Small Business Development Centers. As the small business journalist representing the Syracuse District, she will automatically move into competition for the state- wide award. One of the fifty state winners will ultimately be selected to receive the SBA Office of Advocacy 2003 Small Business Journalist of the Year Award.
