Queens, New York - March 17, 2008 — Last Thursday, at the Terrace on the Park, in Flushing Queens, The Queens Courier and Queens Business Today held their Sixth Annual “Top Women in Queens Business” Networking Awards Dinner. Among the honorees was Ada Rodriguez, Chief Marketing Manager of Health Plus, the managed care organization.
