Idea Cafe's Biz Grants

Idea Cafe's Mary Marks MOM Biz Grant

Idea Cafe's Honorary Panel of Judges

Idea Cafe is proud of our well-rounded and knowledgeable panel of honorary judges -- business experts, childcare experts, authors, fellow work-at-home entrepreneurs, and representatives of Idea Cafe's diverse community -- all of whom have special insights that will help them select the winners of Idea Cafe's Mary Marks MOM Biz Grant.

Idea Cafe's Honorary Panel of Judges includes:

Cheryl Demas
Author of The Work-at-Home Mom's Guide to Home Business. Founder and CEO of WAHM.com More about Ms Demas

Dr. Lynn Cates
Vice President of Health at The Dr.Spock Company, Fellow of American Academy of Pediatrics, Think Tank for KidsHealth 2020. More about Dr.Cates

Kent Capener
Capener Consulting CEO, and internationally noted business planning and strategy expert. More about Mr.Capener

Julia Johnson
CEO & Founder, One Awesome Concierge, Author of How to Start A Concierge Service. Honorary representative selected from the Idea Cafe Community. More about Ms Johnson

Diane Waltham
CEO & Founder, Creative Bookmarks, Honorary Representative selected from the Idea Cafe Community. More about Ms.Waltham

Francie Marks Ward
CEO & Founder of Idea Cafe More about Ms.Ward

Our judges will use their business insight and experience to select the top winners. If a judge encounters any application he or she feels they can't judge objectively for any reason, that judge agrees to recuse (i.e. not judge) that application. The judgements will then be re-averaged by Idea Cafe CEO Francie Marks Ward so recusals (if any) won't skew the judging disproportionately.
