Top Corporations for Women Businesses Honored

The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) recently released its list of the Top Corporations for Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs). This award is given only to the  corporations that demonstrate excellence in inclusion of women business enterprises. The Top Corporations for WBEs consistently offer a wealth of business opportunities and  partnerships to WBEs across the country. These commitments help to support the growth of WBEs and the corporations alike.

All of Top Corporations for WBEs truly deserve to be recognized for their inclusion programs by the only national award honoring inclusion of WBEs. Representatives from each of the 20 corporations were presented with an award during a ceremony at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery during the WBENC Summit and Salute Conference, held March 22 – 24, 2011.

Congratulations to all the corporations given this prestigious honor.
