For 25 years, the Greater Boston Chamber has had the privilege of honoring some of our region's most esteemed members of the small business community at the Small Business of the Year Awards.
In 2009, the Chamber honored Diane Hessan, president & CEO of Communispace Corporation, as the "Entrepreneur of the Year" at the Small Business of the Year Awards Luncheon.
Hessan has served as CEO of Communispace since its founding in 1999. Communispace is a marketing technology services firm that creates and runs private online customer communities. Over the past 10 years under Diane's leadership, the company has developed the first online communities that allow organizations to truly listen to the “voice of their customers.” As social media continues to grow as a business tool, Communispace offers the only social-networking model
with a proven track record of providing real business value and competitive advantage to businesses.
The Chamber congratulates Dianne Hessan on being named the 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year.
