San Francisco, CA, September 16, 2010 - Workshare, a leading provider of document collaboration software, announced that it has been selected as "Rookie of the Year" by the Entrepreneurs Foundation (EF). Workshare was recognized as a company which joined the EF in the last 18 months and has developed an impactful and sustainable charitable program for both the company and the community. The company will be honored at the 11th Annual 'Powered by EF' reception on September 16 for its community efforts, including raising money to purchase solar lanterns for a village in Malawi in Africa as well as a successful e-waste drive.

By demonstrating ambition and actions around community involvement that are unique for a company of their size, they have earned the recognition that comes with being EF's 2010 Rookie of the Year," said Diane Solinger, Executive Director of EF.
