The award is the highest honor given to DMACC alumni by the DMACC Alumni Association.

Prior to her role at The Partnership, Moffatt most recently served as Regional Director for the Iowa Small Business Development Center, overseeing Dallas, Polk, Jasper, Warren and Marion Counties. She is also the owner of the award-winning Crème Cupcake + Dessert, which she founded in 2010.
