Recipients of awards

I was born on 5.th December 1957 in Kranj. By profession I am graduated economist. After high school I finished Higher Administrative School. Later, next to working, I graduated at Faculty of Management in Economics.I got my first job at the Municipality of Kranj, where I was counselor for trade and entrepreneurship. After five years of work experience I was employed by the Regional Chamber of Craft Kranj. New work and new environment had brought completely new opportunities, greater creativity of work and many new challenges.In 1992 I participated in project which was led by Ministry of Economy. I participated in training for business advisers, which helped me in my work as well as in establishing and running my husband’s construction business. In 1994/95 I was as one of the fifteen consultants from Gorenjska involved in the project PHARE. I had led or participated in several projects which included purchasing land and construction of business zones for entrepreneurs (in the former zone Tekstilindusu, Metal-craft business, Business zone in Šenčur …).

In the early 90ths I led local development coalition for the Municipality of Kranj. One of the set tasks was “merger of support institutions for small business at the same location”. The idea was soon realized in the construction of Business center in Kranj. I was responsible for establishing agreements with institutions for joint construction, coordination of customer requirements, project finance and acquisition of loans. I also took care of smooth coordination of construction. Experience I gained in home construction company helped me a lot.
