MacElree Harvey will again sponsor the Women's Referral Network (WRN) of Chester County's Initiative Grant Program, designed to recognize a local businesswoman who showed substantial initiative in 2005.

"MacElree Harvey supports individuals in the Chester County community who show exceptional initiative in their business and personal activities," says Lance J. Nelson, managing partner of MacElree Harvey. "The Women's Referral Network is a great organization and the firm is happy to offer support."

The $750 grant is designed to recognize a woman who showed substantial initiative in 2005 by either opening or growing a woman-owned business; actively, creatively and positively promoting women in business; or aiding in the development and advancement of the Women's Referral Network of Chester County. The recipient will then name a charity to receive the $750 donation.

MacElree Harvey will also sponsor the group's anniversary luncheon to be held May 9, 2006 at the Inn of Chester Springs. At the luncheon, MacElree Harvey will present the winner of the initiative grant with a creation designed by Chadds Ford jewelry designer Ree Gallagher.

The deadline for nominations for the initiative grant award is April 22, 2006. Those eligible must either work or live in Chester County. For more information contact the WRN Initiative Grant Committee at 610-639-9775 or info@WRNchesco.com, or visit the group's website at www.WRNchesco.com.
