WBEC-West vision and mission statement:

Vision: To build a world where Women Business Enterprises are a cornerstone of America’s business success.

Mission: To cultivate sustainable relationships between certified Women Business enterprises and Corporate America through certification, education, and targeted networking.

To fulfill this mission we strive to do the following:

• Foster diversity and the inclusion of WBEs representing all races and ethnicities in corporate procurement opportunities

• Administer a reliable WBE certification program
• Facilitate mutually beneficial procurement opportunities for WBEs and corporations on a local and national level

Women-owned businesses make up the fastest-growing segment of the national and international business world. That's just one reason why WBEC-West is dedicated to helping you navigate the certification process. We want to assist you in realizing your business potential, help you build connections with leading corporations and provide you with new enterprise networking and development opportunities.
