On Tuesday, September 9, 2008, Boston Recruiting Firm, Hollister founder and CEO Kip Hollister took component in a roundtable discussion with Senator John Kerry (D-MA) in the US Senate entitled, “Opportunities and Challenges for Ladies Entrepreneurs on the 20th Anniversary of the Women’s Enterprise Ownership Act.” The roundtable examined the hurdles facing ladies entrepreneurs. Fittingly, Hollister founded her business in 1988, the same year the Women’s Organization Ownership Act was passed.

“I am honored to have Kip here right now to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of her business. She’s 1 example of the several prosperous women entrepreneurs in this country who have faced adversity but maintain their dreams afloat,” said Kerry.

Kip Hollister founded Hollister, Inc. in 1988 at the age of 26, with the dream of eliminating the transactional nature of the business. Her goal was to create a values and relationship driven organization, although guiding both candidates and clients through the real challenges associated with discovering jobs in Massachusetts. In 2008, it is precisely those values and relationships that have built Hollister Inc. into 1 of the premier staffing firms in Massachusetts, focusing on placing the appropriate men and women in Massachusetts jobs in Accounting & Finance, Administrative, Creative, Human Resources, and Technologies.

“It was an honor to join Senator Kerry on the Committee on Small Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Roundtable,” said Hollister. “Senator Kerry has been a strong advocate for modest businesses and entrepreneurs and I am proud to represent his home state as an individual who has built and successfully grown a woman owned organization in Massachusetts.”

On Thursday, September 25th in the Fantastic Hall of the Massachusetts State House, Kip Hollister will mark her company’s 20th anniversary. The celebration will specifically recognize how far the Massachusetts workforce has come over the past 20 years — evolving from an insular, narrowly-focused 1 to 1 that encourages a vibrant workforce culture that embraces diversity and encourages individual and corporate philanthropy.
