Awards & Recognition

WBENC awards honor those organizations and individuals who have helped to reduce barriers for women-owned businesses and fuel economic growth.

WBENC advocates to Join Forces. Succeed Together because we know that success is only possible when we partner with our constituents toward a set of common goals. We rely on engagement from our network of Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs), Corporate and Government Members, 14 Regional Partner Organizations, and other strategic partners to fulfill our mission.
