Each year, WBENC honors 14 exemplary women business leaders with the nation’s premier award for excellence in business leadership — the Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) Star Award. These successful entrepreneurs, all WBENC-Certified Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs), are leaders in their local business communities and respective fields, and an inspiration to women business owners across the country.
As a community of entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and economic development thought leaders, WBENC is committed to the elimination of discrimination in all areas of business and the provision of equal opportunity when accessing capital, contracts, and contacts.
