Diana Clemente, President of Big Apple Car, Inc., Named Brooklyn's "Top Woman in Business"

BROOKLYN, NY, June 26, 2013 (Press-News.org) During a ceremony held at the New York Marriott last night, Diana Clemente, President of Big Apple Car, Inc., was named a "Top Woman in Business" by Schneps Communications, the largest group of community papers and niche publications in Brooklyn and Queens. The award honors "influential Brooklyn women in business whose major achievements and whose participation in many community activities throughout the years have helped the borough grow."

"It's my privilege and honor to recognize the extraordinary women who have built their careers in Brooklyn or have achieved their success in Brooklyn," remarked Victoria Schneps-Yunis, the papers' co-publisher.

Upon receiving the award, Diana Clemente commented, "I am so grateful to be honored by Schneps Communications, and feel very fortunate to be included among the other honorees, whose success I admire so much. I am proud of my Brooklyn roots and of the role that Big Apple Car has played in providing jobs to the wonderful people of Bath Beach, Brooklyn and surrounding neighborhoods."

Ms. Clemente continued, "A great deal of Big Apple Car's success is attributable to the loyal, hardworking and indisputably good Brooklynites who so capably serve the needs of our clients in the Tri-State region and throughout the world. I share this award with them."

This is the second award Ms. Clemente has received this year. In March, she was named a "2013 Women's Business Enterprise Star" by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). She has also just been tapped as a Brava! Award winner by SmartCEO and will receive this honor later this summer.
