Ellevate Network CEO Kristy Wallace said, “Ellevate Network is committed to making the world a more just and equitable place. All the work we do contributes to opportunities for professional women to hold leadership positions, receive the job opportunities they deserve, and develop their businesses. This is because we believe that diversity brings greater innovation to business, smarter decision making, and higher ROE’s. Becoming certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise and a Woman Owned Small Business demonstrates our commitment to supplier diversity as well as women in leadership, and we’re proud to be recognized as a WBE.”
WBENC’s national standard of certification 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.
