LaShall Dodson, founder of DedicatedVirtual Professional Services LLC, recognized among 200 women entrepreneurs nationwide

BOCA RATON, FL, July 1, 2026 — LaShall Dodson, founder of DedicatedVirtual Professional Services LLC, a Boca Raton based business consulting and digital marketing firm that helps overwhelmed business owners build the systems and marketing infrastructure needed to scale, has been named to the inaugural V-List Entrepreneur Awards, a national program recognizing 200 women business owners who are building companies that put people first.

DedicatedVirtual Professional Services has grown almost entirely through client referrals since Dodson founded it in Boca Raton, with the business expanding 565 percent in its first full year and now serving clients across industries nationwide.

The class of the 200 V-List Honorees, known as the V-200, recognizes founders across 40 states and Washington, D.C. who lead with human-first business practices: people over profit, community impact, and a culture that genuinely values team members and customers. Honorees were selected from nearly 1,000 applicants for mission-driven work, inclusive values, and notable traction.

"Being recognized for people first business practices means everything to me, because that's exactly how I built DedicatedVirtual Professional Services," said Dodson. "I've always believed that strategy without implementation is just expensive advice, and the same goes for values. It's not enough to say you put people first. You have to actually show up and stay through the work. That's what I want my clients and my community here in Boca Raton to know about why this company exists."

"The idea behind the V-List really came down to wanting to create a platform to recognize business owners who are operating with human-first business practices," said Adriane Galea, founder of Visionaries. "I love seeing women make incredible, life-changing money, and absolutely want to see more money in the hands of people who are genuinely impact-driven, but I also believe in being mindful of not putting the importance of profit and growth over the importance of serving the people, team members and customers, who make our businesses possible."
