NEWTON, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Elaine Construction, a full-service construction management firm,
today announced that President Lisa Wexler was named a 2008
Enterprising Women of the Year by Enterprising Women magazine. The
award honors the country's finest women entrepreneurs including their
industry achievements as well as their community contributions. Award
winners were honored last month at a three-day gala celebration in
Florida.

   "We congratulate Lisa and other winners - all of whom are
accomplished entrepreneurs in a range of industries and have earned
the respect and admiration of their communities," said Monica Smiley,
publisher of Enterprising Women magazine. "This award is a testament
to each woman's remarkable accomplishments and we are proud to honor
their business success. Every award winner is the president or CEO of
a fast-growth company that has gone above and beyond to become a role
model for other women in business."

   Nominations were solicited for outstanding women entrepreneurs in
five categories related to their annual sales volume - ranging from
less than $1 million to more than $25 million. Award recipients needed
to demonstrate that they have fast-growth businesses, mentor or
actively support other women and girls involved in entrepreneurship,
and stand out as leaders in their communities.

   "I am very honored to be the recipient of this distinction," said
Wexler. "I stand with so many truly gifted business women from such a
range of backgrounds. I applaud Enterprising Women for not just
recognizing successful business leadership, but also underscoring the
importance that mentoring has within the community."
