Marketing & Communications Consulting Firm Van Eperen & Company (VE & Co.) Maintains Women’s Business Enterprise Certification

Bethesda, Md. – Van Eperen & Company (VE & Co.), www.veandco.com, a woman-owned small business specializing in customized communications that achieve renowned results, announces it has been re-certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). 

The WBE designation is the most widely recognized and respected certification in the United States for women-owned businesses. Accepted by over 700 major corporations, non-profit organizations, as well as many local, state, and Federal government agencies, the certification is often sought by decision makers in supplier diversity and procurement offices.

“As VE & Co. continues to grow in a new decade, this coveted certification enhances our position to provide outstanding marketing and communications services to the Federal government and corporate clients,” said Laura Van Eperen, CEO of Van Eperen and Company.  “As we strategically partner to meet the needs of potential clients, our recognition as a WBE will benefit both our teaming organizations and clients in the public and private sectors.”

VE & Co. acquired the WBE certification through the Women Presidents’ Educational Organization (WPEO), which serves as a regional, certification-granting partner of WBENC. WPEO creates business opportunities for WBEs as a coalition of corporations, regionally focused women’s organizations and certified women business owners.  The organization develops skills for WBEs; advocates in the public and private sectors for women-owned businesses; fosters relationships between WBEs, corporations and the government; and provides certification services.
