Inclusive Excellence Consulting Celebrates Dual Certification as WBENC-Certified WBE and SBA WOSB

MEMPHIS, TN (9/25/2024) – Inclusive Excellence Consulting, an award-winning consultancy specializing in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consulting services, is proud to announce national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) and a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) by WBEC South, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

“Achieving WBENC and SBA WOSB certifications is a testament to the resilience, innovation, and leadership that women bring to the business community. These certifications amplify the voice of women-owned enterprises and strengthen the collective impact we can have in creating a more inclusive economy. For me, they represent the opportunity to inspire other women entrepreneurs and foster meaningful collaborations that elevate women in business,” said Dr. Mary “MJ” McConner, CEO and Founder of Inclusive Excellence Consulting.

WBENC’s national standard of certification, implemented by WBEC South, is a meticulous process, including an in-depth review of the business. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women. The SBA WOSB certification further allows Inclusive Excellence Consulting to compete for federal contracts designated for women-owned small businesses, opening new opportunities for growth and impact.

By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations, government agencies, and federal entities demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs.
