Milford, PA (June 15, 2015) – On Friday, June 12^th, 2015, the Founder and Chief Difference Maker of KKPR Marketing & Public Relations, Katrina Foster, was named one of this year’s Top 25 Women in Business by the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) of Northeast Pennsylvania. With more than 250 people in attendance at the Hilton Scranton & Conference Center in Scranton, PA, Ms. Foster humbly accepted the award alongside 24 women who demonstrate exemplary practices within their industry, including Senator Lisa Baker.

“I am honored and humbled to be a part of this group. It’s definitely something that has always been very important to me,” said Ms. Foster. “I think that young women in general need to see a strong female role model.
