Tailored Programs and Events for certified WBEs, Corporate Members, and Local Networks
WBEC Metro NY and Greater DMV offers a broad spectrum of programs and events tailored to our certified WBEs, Corporate Members, and local networks, providing multiple opportunities to receive timely Content, build Community and make valuable Connections.
We understand that having access to expert content is critical to business survival and success. And we know content becomes empowering when it's effectively used and shared within our community. It is our aim to foster a community where women inspire and uplift each other, because when women thrive, the local community thrives, too.
Expanding our network means creating and nurturing fresh partnerships, further amplifying the worth and impact of women-owned businesses.

It's a platform for growth, networking, and gaining exposure, making it an invaluable experience for every WBE.
