“Being WBENC-Certified is a meaningful recognition of the work we do at LVL-Up Strategies to empower businesses and communities,” said Rona Jobe, CEO and Founder. “This certification not only broadens our reach but also reinforces our dedication to fostering inclusive growth and amplifying the voices of women entrepreneurs.”

The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council Greater DMV is a meticulous process that includes an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm that 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 for women-owned businesses to grow and expand their business and innovation through events, programming, and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
