In addition, Cathie has also been regularly recognized for her outstanding accomplishments which include the prestigious SBA Lender of Excellence Award as well as the 2003 Financial Services Advocate of the Year Award for the U.

Cathie has also been an invited guest at the US Senate during Small Business Week and has further advocated on behalf of small businesses by recommending common-sense improvements to the SBA loan program to U.S. Senators.
