Mari-Lyn Harris HeartatWork LLC is Honored as Fremont's CA 2022 Local Business Person of Year

FREMONT, Calif. - Feb. 23, 2022 - PRLog -- The Awards on Alignable has been hosted. In all, 2,400+ small business owners were elected by their peers to be their Local Business People of The Year across the U.S. and Canada for 2022.

The votes took place Jan.10 to Feb. 11, 160,000+ votes and 32,000+ testimonials were posted praising thousands of local leaders for helping their peers and communities through a turbulent year with many challenges.

70% of small businesses have yet to recover and recovery rates have declined 13% since December, according to Alignable's latest poll of 6,305 small business owners. This recovery reversal highlights how important  the contest winners to continue their work helping even more businesses bounce back from pandemic-era hurdles.

Giving Is The Glue that Holds Us Together

"In our tight-knit community, you almost always get back what you give,"  says Harris and the challenges we've all encountered have compelled many of us to offer counsel and other support to peers struggling to keep their businesses afloat. While I'm thrilled to receive this award, it's really a testament to our entire community. And it reinforces my resolve to push toward a full recovery for everyone here in Fremont by the end of 2022, if not earlier."

Mari-Lyn Harris received a special badge on her Alignable profile, recognizing this big win.

Driving Recognition Is Key

"This has been a fun and rewarding contest to watch unfold," said Alignable's President & Co-Founder Venkat Krishnamurthy. "Local business owners are the heart and soul of their communities and they ought to get way more recognition for all they do. Friendly competition aside, showing exactly why small business owners are stronger together."
