ENGAGEMENT

Our theme is 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, and 14 Regional Partner Organizations to fulfill our mission.

We foster healthy engagement through advisory councils, ambassador programs, and a robust recognition and awards program.

Advisory Councils

• Leadership Council
  The Leadership Council is comprised of executives from the 14 Regional Partner Organizations (RPOs) authorized to administer WBENC's certification for women-owned businesses.

• Women’s Enterprise Forum
  The Women's Enterprise Forum serves in an advisory capacity to the WBENC Board of Directors and gives input and feedback on WBENC programs and other matters.

WBENC Ambassador Program

WBENC Ambassadors are enthusiastic supporters of WBENC who help make connections, introduce WBENC to new or potential Corporate Members, and raise awareness about WBENC within their business networks. Learn more.
