Simon PR Advocates for Certification as 2014 Women’s Business Enterprise Council “Silver Sponsor”
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – According to recent estimates, there are more
than 8.6 million women-owned businesses in the United States, generating
$1.3 trillion in revenues. The Women’s Business Enterprise Council (WBEC)
aims to increase these numbers by providing women owned businesses the
educational and networking opportunities necessary to thrive. Simon PR, a
Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) certified business, is
supporting WBEC as a 2014 Silver Sponsor.
The Women’s Business Enterprise Council is the Pennsylvania, Delaware
and South Jersey regional partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National
Council, the largest third-party certifier of businesses owned, controlled and
operated by women in the United States. The WBEC fosters growth of certified
women business enterprises and creates opportunities between these
businesses and purchasing entities, including major corporations and
government agencies. Simon PR will help advance supplier diversity by
sponsoring WBEC events and programs that link other women led businesses
with business executives and corporate purchasing professionals. Agency
President Lisa Simon will also continue to advocate for certification of other
women business enterprises by serving as a WBENC Envoy, a role she has held
since 2010. “The WBENC community is for reaching,” Simon said. “We were
first certified more than 10 years ago and now, more than ever, we are
committed to pursuing opportunities through the supplier diversity portal.”
