May 5th, 2009  -  MIAMI, FL   The Welcome Channel is proud to announce today that Sales and Marketing Director April Donelson has been featured in the May/June issue of Brickell Magazine, named as one of their “2009 Top 20 Professionals Under 40”.

“We searched far and wide, high and low to find Brickell Magazine’s 2009 Top 20 Professionals Under 40,” says Brickell Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Jorge Arauz. “Once the nominations started rolling in, we were faced with the arduous task of narrowing down hundreds of entries down to the 20 young professionals we felt represented the next generation of success in ‘The Manhattan of the South’ in which we all live, work and play. Keep an eye out for the finalists because even though they’ve already accomplished many things in their careers, they are just getting started toward the journey of reaching their full potential!”

“What truly defines April is her enthusiasm and her work ethic. This was exemplified by my first experience with her” remembers Ken Hege, President of Broadway Multimedia, Inc. “After her final interview with our company, I extended the position of Marketing Director and without hesitation she asked, ‘Can I start right now?’ She then proceeded to her new office and assumed the role. This young woman has not slowed down since.”

“From the moment we received April Donelson’s nomination for Brickell Magazine’s 2009 Top 20 Professionals Under 40, we knew there was something special about her,” according to Jorge Arauz, ”From her continuous strides to promote The Magic City and its exclusive enclaves to residents and visitors alike through her work with the Welcome Channel to her constant presence at the city’s hottest events and her desire to give back to the community that has helped shape her, she personifies the criteria we used to select the finalists and we’re proud to have her as one of the faces gracing our cover!”

Ms. Donelson currently serves as Sales and Marketing Director for The Welcome Channel, is an Executive Board member for the Leading Ladies League, www.LeadingLadiesLeague.org , a non-profit organization assisting woman and children in need throughout the Miami-Dade community, and is currently training for the 2009 Fitness Universe Pageant, www.fitnessuniverse.com, held June 19th  in Miami.
