St. Louis, Mo. -  Local businesswoman, Jeannine Clontz, owner of Accurate Business Services was recently honored by two organizations for her volunteerism and support. The first honor Clontz received from the Metropolitan St. Louis Chapter of Women's Council of REALTORS.  Clontz served on their Board of Directors for three years, most recently (2007) as their Secretary, and for the second time was the recipient of their Affiliate of the Year Award.

This award is one of two local awards the group provides its membership and is based upon leadership, support and volunteerism to the non-profit organization.  Clontz was also their Affiliate of the Year in 2005. "I was just thrilled to have been noticed by Women's Council," remarked Clontz, "it's a fabulous group of people that really cares about the community, and helped me to improve my leadership skills and connect with my target market nationwide."

Clontz's second nod came from her volunteer efforts on behalf of the Kirkwood Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce.  One of two ‘surprise' awards presented at their yearly Installation Dinner held at the Frontenac Hilton, Clontz was recognized as their Volunteer of the Year.

Clontz spent more than 240-hours in support of the organization by participating as a Chamber Ambassador, supporting new members to the Chamber at ribbon cuttings, membership meetings, and one-on-one connections, and as the chairperson for the organization's successful Grand Marketplace EXPO celebrating its 20th year in 2008.  This is a very prestigious award bestowed by the second largest Chamber in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. Clontz was chosen by committee from a number of nominees.

"This came as a total shock to me," Clontz said, "The support you get from their staff, the encouragement and appreciation that comes from the staff, Board, and members, is truly second to no other organization I am involved in."  "They really make it easy to participate and grow within the organization; this is such an incredible honor, one I will cherish for many years to come."

Clontz was also recently nominated for a First Lady Award for volunteerism in 2008 honoring Missouri Women Who are Making History, being underwritten by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry and awarded by First Lady Melanie Blunt at the Governor's Mansion on Tuesday, March 4.

Clontz has been in business for ten years providing business support services to small and medium sized businesses, with a niche in REALTOR and legal support.  For more information about Clontz, visit: http://www.accbizsvcs.com/ or contact her at: 636-282-9550.
