Amy Lang, Founder of Birds+Bees+Kids Among 25 Women Honored Nationwide

PR9.NET October 22, 2008 - Seattle, WA - The founder of a Seattle-based parent sexual education company, Birds+Bees+Kids, was among 25 women across the country to be selected as a Sam Walton Emerging Entrepreneur.

Amy Lang was chosen by a panel of national business leaders for this prestigious honor based of her company's core mission and vision, business practices including employee education and mentoring, involvement in the community, financial growth and number of years in business. In celebration of the retailer's 25th anniversary, Sam's Club, a division of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Count Me In for Women's Economic Independence launched this award initiative to champion women entrepreneurs nationwide.

Lang was recognized at an event held in Charlotte, NC on October 7, 2008.

"By creating new jobs and generating revenue, these women are the backbone of their communities and the national economy," said Count Me In's Founder and CEO, Nell Merlino.

"It is an immense source of pride to earn this recognition and I am excited about the award's mission to provide professional business consulting that will increase my contribution back to the community.

Specifically, I will be able to help more parents become better parents and kids to make better decisions about sexuality, love and relationships - no small task," said Lang.

The Sam Walton Emerging Entrepreneur Award winners will receive one-year of paid professional business coaching, access to Count Me In's educational resources and seminars (valued at over $7,000.00), and a Sam's Club Business Membership, made through a separate donation from Sam's Club. The winners will also benefit from inclusion in the Count Me In organization's community of like-minded women entrepreneurs who inspire and mentor each other.

Count Me In for Women's Economic Independence is the leading national not-for-profit provider of resources, business education and community support for women entrepreneurs seeking to grow micro businesses to million dollar enterprises. Count Me In launched the Make Mine a Million $ Business to inspire one million women entrepreneurs to scale their business to a million dollars in revenue by 2010 providing tools, skills and the support of a nation-wide community of peers.
