NBS Now Certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE)

We are proud to announce our recent certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) awarded by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and validated by the Great Lakes Women’s Business Council. Today, we are 95% Women Owned.

The WBENC is the nation’s leading third-party organization that certifies women-owned businesses. The certification process involves an in-depth evaluation of a company’s business, financials, and management, including a site inspection. It validates that a business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that strategic business planning and implementation are in place. As a WBENC-Certified WBE, NBS now joins an exclusive network of women-owned businesses.

“We are proud to have earned this certification and live out a vision we have had for NBS to evolve to a women-owned organization. While remaining grounded in our history and strong culture, we are committed to providing the same great client experience we always have. We hope this certification will help meet the needs of many of our clients’ procurement programs,” shares Heather Lanier, President and majority owner.

By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies, organizations demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs, which in turn empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced, and sustainable economy.

We have always been fueled by a passion to create exceptional client experiences, dynamic work environments, and a forward-thinking approach to meet the evolving demands of commercial spaces. We are excited for this next chapter as a Women Owned organization.
