Madison: Lynn Seidl-Babcock, owner of HomeCare Health Services & Hospice and Manitowoc HomeCare, received both a Forward Award and a Pioneer Award at the 2018 Governor’s Trailblazer Awards for Women in Business ceremony at the Wisconsin State Capitol today.
“Lynn is a vital part of our community. Her services help some of Wisconsin’s most vulnerable, and she is very deserving of this recognition,” said Rep. Paul Tittl (R-Manitowoc), who represents Manitowoc and nominated Lynn for the awards. “She epitomizes a trailblazer, paving the way for future female entrepreneurs in our state.”
The Pioneer Award recognizes women who have owned a business for the past 25 years or more, and the Forward Award commends female entrepreneurs who employ over 100 people.
