ACCENT New Orleans DMC President/Founder Diane Lyons Honored with Entrepreneur Award

NEW ORLEANS - March 5, 2024 - PRLog -- ACCENT New Orleans Inc., a DMC Network Company, proudly announces that president and founder Diane Lyons, CMP, DMCP, has been named a recipient of the esteemed 2024 Smart Women in Meetings Award by Smart Meetings.

This coveted recognition by Smart Meetings, a leading media company and respected authority in the meeting industry, underscores Diane's ability to navigate challenges and serve as a source of inspiration within the event sector.

The global meetings landscape, predominantly comprised of women, often faces a lack of female representation in leadership roles.

Diane was named to the Entrepreneur category.

"I'm incredibly humbled and grateful to receive the Entrepreneur Award from Smart Women in Meetings," Lyons said. "This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our team at ACCENT New Orleans, and I am privileged to share it with them. It inspires me to continue pushing boundaries in our industry."
