The certification process is designed to confirm that the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by one or more women.

“We are thrilled to become a certified Women’s Business Enterprise,” said Sierra Skidmore, Founder and Creative Director of Skidmutro. “We consider this certification an important validation of our business model and know the WBENC will complement our hard work, creative strategies and talent when competing for new business. We look forward to the new opportunities that our WBENC certification will bring.”

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.
