ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR

 

 

Each year, beginning in 2007, our Chapter honors our “Entrepreneur of the Year” at our Annual Luncheon. On December 8th, 2011, at the Gleneagles Country Club in Delray Beach, Florida, Dr. Stacey Nelson received the award for 2011. Following is some information on this year’s honoree:

 

Dr. Stacey Nelson, a Family Therapist, Motivational Trainer, and Consultant, is also very much an animal lover. And from her loving concern for her Yellow Labrador Retriever, Tweedle the winning business www.tweedlepetproducts.com was born. It seems that Tweedle was discovered to have food allergies, just as humans do, and with much patience, hard work, and trial and error, Dr. Nelson developed dog food formulas that returned her precious pet to good health. Her recipes use no wheat, soy, corn, added salt and sugar, are Gluten free, and contain no animal byproducts or hormones. Beginning with delicious dog treats for Tweedle, Dr. Nelson soon discovered significant demand for her products and has now expanded her offerings to include a wide variety of  safe and healthy foods and snacks for cats and birds. And yes, even humans! Her products are gaining rapid acceptance and can be found in many Whole Foods markets, and direct from the website. Laboratory certified, purchasers can be assured they are  buying safe, nutritious products for their precious pets. In the near future Dr. Nelson plans to open a “Tweedle” bakery and boutique for all those pets (and humans!) in need.
