WBENC

WBENC is the largest certifier of women-owned businesses in the U.S. WBENC was founded in 1997 to develop a nationwide standard for women-owned business certification. A 501(c)(3) non-profit, WBENC partners with 14 Regional Partner Organizations to provide its world-class standard of certification to women-owned businesses throughout the country, and offers programming and resources to help women-owned businesses thrive. Our mission is to fuel economic growth globally by identifying, certifying, and facilitating the development of women-owned businesses. WBENC Certification validates that a business is at least 51 percent owned, controlled, operated and managed by a woman or women. We provide best-in-class programs, events and networking opportunities for women-owned businesses, supplier diversity experts, government and corporate procurement professionals, and other industry and thought leaders throughout the U.S. Our goal is to ensure women business owners have access to the education, support, and tools they need to grow and succeed. WBENC is helping bridge that gap — through access to opportunities, programs that accelerate growth, and campaigns to influence consumer buying behaviors.
