Dr. Mary Tjosvold Inducted into Minnesota Women Business Owners Hall of Fame

Posted on October 30, 2019 by Jodi Boyne

Dr. Mary Tjosvold, Founder & CEO of Mary T. Inc., has been selected by the Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO-MN) as a 2019 inductee to the Minnesota Women Business Owners Hall of Fame.  

In 1976, Mary Tjosvold co-founded Mary T. Inc. with her mother on land along Sand Creek that she inherited from her grandmother, Rosa Camille Williams. Mary T. Inc. launched by opening Camilia Rose Group Home, one of the first community-based settings in the United States to serve people with multiple disabilities.  Mary T. Inc. has expanded into rental and senior housing, home health care, additional human service program options, independent living services and hospice care. The company now operates multiple locations in Minnesota and three other states. 

In 2014, Tjosvold opened Crooners Supper Club which has become a premier music venue.

“​Many of us make a difference in the lives of people in our community,” said Mary Tjosvold. “This award is only possible because of the support and forward thinking of my Grandmother, Rosa Camille, my mother Margaret, and the people who work and are served as part of the Mary T. Inc. organization. I am grateful for this award and everyone who makes our work possible.”
