Congratulations to Team Elyon for winning 2nd Place at NWMMSDC 23rd Annual Scholarship Fundraiser (Left to Right): Robert Regan, Director of Business Development, PNW of Elyon; Josh Sisco, Vice President of Elyon; Carmen Nazario, President of Elyon; Claudia Gil and Fernando Martinez, President of NWMMSDC.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (SEPTEMBER 9, 2019) — Team Elyon placed 2nd at the 23rd Annual Scholarship Fundraiser hosted by the Northwest Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council (MSDC) at the Washington National Golf Club in Auburn, Washington.

Congratulations to Brian Archer, Ryan Kallenberger, Robert Regan and Josh Sisco who represented Elyon International, Inc. at the fundraiser’s main event—a golf tournament featuring a four-person progressive scramble.  The contest started out rough as the players teed off in pouring rain which lasted halfway through the tournament.  Team Elyon kept their pace and managed to drive excellent scores—which led them to a championship tie—and took home 2nd Place after a tiebreaker.

Sisco is the Vice President at Elyon International, Inc. and Regan is the Director of Business Development, PNW. They were joined by colleagues from the First Tee of South Puget Sound, a nonprofit that introduces the game of golf and its inherent values to youth since 2011. Kallenberger serves as the organization’s Executive Director and Archer as their Program Director.

Elyon International, Inc. is an Annual Sponsor supporting Council activities and events throughout the year, and is a certified minority business enterprise. For more information on Elyon’s certifications and memberships, visit www.elyoninternational.com/certifications.

Carmen Nazario named SBA 2017 8(a) Graduate of the Year

, , ,

Carmen Nazario was named 8A Graduate of the Year at SBA Portland’s 2017 Small Business Week Awards Luncheon.

May 3, 2017 (Portland, Oregon) — Carmen Nazario, Founder and President of ELYON International, Inc. was named 2017 8(a) Graduate of the Year at Small Business Administration (SBA) Portland’s Small Business Week Awards Luncheon.  Nazario is a U.S. Army veteran from Puerto Rico.  Her father worked in the newspaper business and she dreamed of one day, touching the lives of others in her own way.

“Life is an adventure and you live a greater adventure when you are willing to take more risks,” reads the legacy in Carmen Nazario’s high school year book.   Though she didn’t have a crystal ball, Carmen’s quote selection would be foretelling of her future.  While attending a university in her native home of Puerto Rico, she decided to take her first big risk. She followed in the footsteps of her father, a World War II Veteran, and joined the U.S. Army, hoping to see the world.  Carmen served as a computer programmer during the Vietnam War; gaining skills that much later would help her establish her own company.  After leaving the Army, she attended school, earned her Bachelor’s degree and worked as an Information Technology professional.

Nearly 20 years later, Carmen took another huge risk.  As a single mother of three she decided to start her own business in the field she knew best, software development and consulting.  Today her company, ELYON International, Inc. has more than 80 employees working across seven states, and serves government and Fortune 500 companies.  In addition to participating in the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program, Nazario grew her business with assistance from the SBA Veteran Business Outreach Center and SCORE counseling.

Nazario was also selected as the SBA Region 10 8(a) Graduate of the Year among winners from the Pacific Northwest including Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.  She was one of 10 finalists for the SBA National 8(a) Graduate of the Year.

Each spring the SBA recognizes small businesses across the country during National Small Business Week (NSBW).  2017 winners were recognized during the SBA Portland District’s annual awards luncheon  on May 3 at the Portland Art Museum.
