Higgins Receives First of Its Kind Prize

Richmond, VA February 1, 2006 - The American Business Women's Association (ABWA) has established a recruitment rewards program for Express Network members - Express Rewards. Members earn points whenever they recruit a new member to the association. Those points translate to dollars on a gift card to places like AMC Theatres, Barns & Noble, Starbucks and Target. The first member to qualify for a gift card is Karen Higgins (pictured at left), a

member of ABWA's River City Express Network (RCEN) in Richmond,  Virginia. Higgins, founder and co-owner of Just Like Sisters, LLC, is eager to share the benefits of membership in ABWA and RCEN. Karen expressed her delight at being rewarded for doing something she loves. "What fun to be rewarded with a gift card for bringing new members to ABWA and River City Express Network! My new puppies, Coco and Chanel, were the beneficiaries of the shopping spree - lots of new toys and treats! The card may now be empty, but the rewards of ABWA's terrific programs and the opportunities to network with River City's 100+ members are ongoing."
