major corporations representing America’s most respected brands, in addition to many states, cities and other
entities,” explains the WBENC website.
With diversity as an integral part of business today, this certification allows partners, vendors and potential
clients to choose a WBENC certified business to ensure companies are committing to fostering equity in their
partnership choices.
“The work of the Liderança Group is phenomenal,” explained Marya Woods, Chief Executive Officer at Apex
