Local Business Earns Million Dollar Chance
CommGap wins chance to earn a million dollars

CommGap International Language Services, a language services company headquartered in Salt Lake City has been selected as one of five businesses to receive the “Make Mine a Million Dollar Business” Award from Count Me In. So far, over 100 women have been selected to participate in the "Make Mine a Million" program launched to help one million female-owned companies grow revenues to US$1-million by 2010.

"This notion of growth is something we really want to get women to focus on. They can get to annual revenues of one million and beyond, but many women don't know this is even a possibility," said the program's founder Nell Merlino, noting that over 10 program recipients have already hit the $1 million mark. This fall, more contests are scheduled in New York City and California. Prizes include a US$50,000 line of credit from American Express, US$45,000 in financing through Merlino's non-profit Count Me In for Women's Economic Independence organization, coaching, and technical assistance.

“This is very exciting for us and we’re looking forward to joining this incredible network of women entrepreneurs,” said CommGap’s Executive Director Lelani Craig.
