Benardett Wins Statewide Award

Benardett K. Jno-Finn, owner of Sénica, LLC was announced as the winner of the 2011 Small Business Administration (SBA) Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the State of Louisiana. The SBA announced the regional winners of the Small Business Champion Awards On March 8, 2011.

"I was surprised and humbled when I found out I received this award. There are so many young entrepreneurs with viable businesses that will help sustain their communities, I'm truly honored to be among them and the one who was chosen to receive this distinction," said Jno-Finn.

The award recognizes entrepreneurs under the age of 30 who demonstrate entrepreneurial potential necessary for long-term business success and economic growth, utilize innovative or creative business methods and serve as a majority owner and operator or bear principal responsibility for operating a small business with a three year track record.

“Small business owners embody the spirit of entrepreneurship and strong work ethic that lie at the heart of the American dream. They are the backbone of our Nation’s economy, they employ tens of millions of workers, and, in the past 15 years, they have created the majority of new private jobs. During Small Business Week we reaffirm our support for America’s small businesses and celebrate the proud tradition of private enterprise they represent.” Barack Obama, President of the United States, 2010 Small Business Week Proclamation.
