The WBENC standard of certification implemented by WBEC Greater DMV includes a meticulous process involving an in-depth business review and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm that a business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women—and that it has the appropriate structure, strategy, and planning in place.

By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and expanding their supplier diversity programs, which in turn empowers women as leaders and contributes to a more balanced, innovative, and sustainable economy.

WBENC Certification—combined with ongoing engagement in the WBENC network—offers year-round opportunities for professional development, connections with major corporations, and growth through programming and events.
