When Whitney Vredenburgh received the Leap of Faith Award from zWORKS in November, it seemed fitting for a woman who was inspired to build her business after watching entrepreneurs in the coworking space succeed in their own businesses.

Vredenburgh had been working in marketing and sales for an agricultural company when became a member of zWORKs when it opened almost two years ago as an alternative to her home office. She soon became intrigued by the possibility of building her own company.
