ClearEdge Marketing Achieves WBENC Certification
Chicago, IL (March 12, 2009)—ClearEdge Marketing, a firm specializing in outsourced marketing solutions for professional services firms, has received national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women's Business Development Center - Chicago, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
WBENC’s national standard of certification is a meticulous process that includes an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women.
By including women-owned businesses among their vendors, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier/vendor diversity programs.
"We're proud to be a WBENC-certified Women's Business Enterprise," noted Leslie Vickrey, ClearEdge Marketing's president and founder. "The certification is a testament to our commitment in working with other minority-owned businesses, as well as helping clients fulfill their corporate supplier objectives.
