Studies show that women in leadership roles add enormous value to teams, and it is my commitment as the CEO of an executive recruiting firm to ensure that women are well represented as leaders in the C-Suite and on Boards. WBENC Certification matters to me because the organization supports my passion for the development of women as leaders.”
WBENC’s national standard of certification implemented by the WPEO is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women.
By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs.
