(Frederick News-Post, The (Frederick, MD) (KRT) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Sep. 29--FREDERICK -- A local businesswoman has been honored with a Maryland Business Enterprise award.

Misti Morningstar, owner of Morningstar Design and Le Savon in downtown Frederick, will be honored in October for her outstanding achievements. The award denotes accomplishments in business development, client satisfaction, professional affiliations and community outreach. The award will be presented Oct. 27 at the University of Maryland University College in Adelphi.



Ms. Morningstar represents the best of the state's more than 200,000 women and minority-owned businesses, said Sharon R. Pinder, special secretary to the Governor's Office of Minority Affairs.

"Receiving this award is truly a special honor, and we're excited to be recognized among so many dedicated business owners," Ms. Morningstar said Thursday.

"The meaning of this award is especially close to my heart because I, myself, am a woman, and I have worked hard toward my goals," she said. "But helping the community and others succeed will continue to be my main priority."

She said she hoped the award would inspire other women and minorities to work hard and have faith in their goals and dreams.

Ms. Morningstar's businesses include a successful graphic arts firm and a business that makes and sells handmade soaps. Some of her soaps were especially designed to relate to charities and help raise funds for them.

Ms. Morningstar was appointed in June to the Business Advisory Council of the National Republican Congressional Committee. Her main focus on the council will be to provide a voice for small business, especially minority- and woman-owned businesses, she said at the time of her appointment.

Her goals on the committee will be to push for keeping taxes low, reducing unnecessary spending and providing affordable health care.
