LFS was named a finalist for two prestigious awards presented by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce.

LFS was one of three finalists for the “Woman-Owned Small Business of the Year” award for “business leadership and extraordinary social responsibility efforts.” LFS provides pro bono marketing support and financial donations to the Fairfax County Life with Cancer House, Communities in Schools of Virginia, and the American Red Cross.

LFS CEO Lisa Martin was also named one of 20 “InNOVAtors in Business by “NOVA EXEC,” a new business magazine. The award recognizes business leaders who “have the courage to think and act in previously aberrant ways, while others are walking a more tried and tested road.”

“We greatly appreciate the recognition that our company has received and we offer our sincerest congratulations to everyone who was nominated,” Ms. Martin said. “We have a great team of dedicated, talented individuals who put the interests of our clients first.”

Ms. Martin, who serves on the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, has been active in the organization since she started her company 15 years ago. “The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce has played an important role in our success and it truly is the voice of business in Northern Virginia,” she said.
