Jonquil Ridge Innovation is proud to announce national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Development Center, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC Certification is the gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States.
“This milestone is a testament to the passion and hard work we’ve put into building a business that fosters diversity and innovation and supports flexibility and balance. We are proud to join the WBENC network of extraordinary women entrepreneurs who are breaking barriers and paving the way for the next generation of leaders.
Becoming WBE-certified strengthens our ability to partner with organizations that value supplier diversity and to continue supporting and empowering women in business.” – JoAnna Trapp Simpson, Founder + CEO
The WBENC standard of certification is a meticulous process, including an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that the business has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.
By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs, which in turn empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced and sustainable economy.
WBENC Certification combined with professional development and engagement in the WBENC network provides unsurpassed opportunities year-round, both virtually and in-person, for women-owned businesses to grow and expand their business and innovation through events, programming and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
