"It's an honor to be recognized as a Women's Business Enterprise, and to be among a growing network of amazing women-owned businesses across the nation," said Monique Farmer, president of Avant Solutions. "We've built a team of accomplished, experienced professionals who stand at the ready to provide customized communications strategies and personalized solutions for our clients. I look forward to the opportunities for growth and development this certification offers."
The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the WBDC 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.
