The BOSS Group Reestablishes Prestigious WBE Certification
The BOSS Group Renews Prestigious WBE Certification BETHESDA, MD – The BOSS Group, an award-winning, boutique provider of interactive, creative and marketing talent, has recently been re-certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) from the Women President's Educational Organization (WPEO) and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
This certification acknowledges woman-operated companies that experience success in today's competitive business world. Recognition as a WBE by the WPEO/WBENC requires that a business must be at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by a woman or group of women. Accepted by more than 700 major corporations and government entities nationwide, this certification is widely respected and becomes an effective marketing tool for expanding a company's visibility among decision makers in corporate supplier diversity and procurement.
