But, getting certified is no small feat. WBENC’s national standard of certification is a meticulous process that includes an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. This certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women.
Honored by the certification, Sandy Hagerman, Hagerman & Company President and CEO says, “We are pleased to be officially certified as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise and look forward to the new growth and networking opportunities that the WBENC will provide.”
