Aerial Development Group CEO Recognized as a 2015 Enterprising Woman of the Year
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – March 3, 2015 – Britnie Turner, founder and CEO of Aerial Development Group, is a 2015 Enterprising Woman of the Year, Enterprising Women magazine’s annual tribute to the world’s top women entrepreneurs.
Turner, who heads the residential and commercial real estate development company based in Nashville, Tenn., is among the honorees who will be recognized at the 13th Annual Enterprising Women of the Year Awards & Conference, March 29-31 at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
The annual Enterprising Women of the Year Awards is widely considered one of the most prestigious recognition programs for women business owners. To win, nominees must demonstrate that they have fast-growth businesses, mentor or actively support other women and girls involved in entrepreneurship, and stand out as leaders in their communities. Many of the honorees also serve as leaders of the key organizations that support the growth of women’s entrepreneurship.
This year, award winners were recognized in seven categories, based on annual sales revenues. Turner was a winner in the annual sales revenues of more than $10 million and up to $25 million.
At the age of 21, Turner founded Aerial Development Group to feed two passions: revitalizing urban neighborhoods and supporting orphans in Africa. The company revitalizes urban neighborhoods by renovating or building new homes. For each home sold, Aerial Development sponsors an orphan for one year in the name of the homeowner(s). The homeowners have an option to continue with their own support. In 2014, more than 60 orphans were sponsored by the company and homeowners.
The 2015 Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration and Conference will bring together dynamic women business owners from North America and around the world for two full days of top-notch workshops, networking opportunities, sponsor exhibits and awards presentations. The celebration will shine the spotlight on award winners and finalists, with award presentations at the Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Gala Dinner.
