Bailey wins regional business honors

HONESDALE — Deborah A. Bailey, owner and proprietor of Bailey Design and Advertising and Connections Magazine, has been chosen as one of the Top 25 Woman in Business in Northeast Pennsylvania. The 2009 honorees of the “Top 25 Women in Business in Northeast PA” wield strong economic forces in their businesses and the regional economy. As the owners or top executives, the industries they operate run the gamut - from tourist agencies, construction, heath-care, publishing, financial management firms, banks, interior design and hospitality. The honorees are strong women - mothers, daughters and sisters - running successful businesses while raising families, volunteering and mentoring others in their communities. All of the Top 25 women embody the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps the region successfully moving forward. Bailey believes that leadership begins with the conscience decision to ‘pay the price’, and ends the moment you cease to pay it. “You can’t have success unless you continually devote yourself, your time and accept that you must take risks, calculated and blindly, to becoming an accomplished leader,” she said.
