Medavera Receives Rigorous Women's Business Enterprise Certification
Women's Business Enterprise National Council certification widely regarded as the leading women-owned business verification and purchasing organization; Medavera medical education services now qualify under WBE procurement program requirements.
Springfield, MO (PRWEB) October 16, 2008
Medavera, Inc., a leading provider of medical education services, today announced it has been officially approved as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the leading third-party certifier of women-owned business status.
Undergoing rigorous financial and legal review, Medavera successfully demonstrated its WBE status to WBENC. According to law, a WBE is a US-based and - run independent business at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more women who are US citizens or legal resident aliens.
With WBE status approved, Medavera is eligible for purchasing under corporate and government supply-chain diversity procurement policies. As a WBENC member, Medavera is entitled to connect with the network of WBENC buyers and sellers and is granted access to WBENC best-practice tools, training, and resources.
Laura McCaskill, President & CEO of Medavera, remarked, "As a certified women-owned business, our clients are assured they receive the high-quality service to which they are accustomed as well as the benefits of meeting any diversity-based purchasing mandates. We opted to seek certification from WBENC because it simply is the national authority on WBE standing and issues. It's a win-win all around."
WBENC has been setting the standard for WBE certification and opportunity since its inception in 1997. Working in the private and public sectors, WBENC members network to benefit each other and the WBE cause as the whole.
