“It’s very important for women and minority-owned businesses to understand the tremendous opportunities available to them from Federal and State governments, as well as private entities with established diversity programs. Depending on business type, and target customers, have a women owned or minority owned certification may be a strategic advantage. This chapter explains the major certifications and programs so that entreprenuers can make informed decisions about whether certification will benefit their emerging company.” said Ms. Hicks.
