Only given to women-owned companies and those that foster diversity, the exclusive
certification helps set businesses apart
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2017 — Liderança Group recently announced that it has received

third-party partner, the Astra Women’s Business Alliance.
“The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC’s) certification is accepted by more than 1000
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

nation’s next leaders.”
