The Rise Journey LLC Certified By the Women's Business Enterprise National Council

New York, NY, 02/16/2024, The Rise Journey LLC, a business specializing in organizational culture consulting with an emphasis on employee experience, is proud to announce national certification as a Women's Business Enterprise by the Women's Business Enterprise Center - East, a regional certifying partner of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC Certification is the gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States.

"It's important to acknowledge women-owned businesses, given that women constitute around 40% of business owners but receive only 25% of the funding they seek, compared to their male counterparts who secure 50%. Supporting this community and raising awareness for women entrepreneurs are imperative for our society and the broader business community."

- Jessica Lambrecht, CEO of The Rise Journey

The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the Women's Business Enterprise Center - East (WBEC East) is a meticulous process, including an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that the business has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.

By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies 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.

WBENC Certification combined with professional development and engagement in the WBENC network provides unsurpassed opportunities year-round, both virtually and in-person, for women-owned businesses to grow and expand their business and innovation through events, programming and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
