“I really consider this to be a team effort, but proud we can be recognized in such a large capacity,” Rosson said. “I love being able to fulfill unique needs for small businesses in towns like Oxford, Starkville and other Southeastern Conference communities.”

Rossen is a previous president of the Oxford-Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and former owner of A Bash Events. In 2007, Rossen was named one of the Top 50 Leading Business Women by the Mississippi Business Journal.

Suber is a 2005 graduate from the University of Mississippi.

“It was an honor to be included among this amazing group of women and I am humbled at the opportunity to be recognized as one of them,” Suber said.

The Mississippi Business Journal recognizes influential women business leaders who are making an impact on the economy of the state.
