PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Boeh Agency (Bā), a specialized marketing and public relations firm catering to the water industry, has been officially certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise Center-East (WBEC-East). This certification is recognized as a gold standard for women-owned businesses across the United States.
The agency’s president and CEO, Beth Boeh, expressed her pride and enthusiasm about this achievement. “This acknowledgment isn’t just a milestone for us; it’s a testament to the passion, resilience, and innovation that women bring to the forefront of business. By choosing us, our customers are aligning with our ethos of empowerment and a commitment to breaking down barriers. We look forward to continuing to spread this enthusiasm within the water industry for years to come.”
The rigorous certification process, conducted by WBEC-East, includes an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. It aims to verify that the business is at least 51 percent owned, operated, and controlled by one or more women. Additionally, it confirms that the company has a suitable structure and strategic business planning and implementation measures.
The inclusion of women-owned businesses among suppliers is a strong indicator of corporations’ and government agencies’ commitment to fostering diversity. This approach also signals their dedication to the continued development of their supplier diversity programs, which in turn promotes gender equality, leadership, and a balanced and sustainable economy.
WBENC Certification offers a wealth of opportunities for women-owned businesses to expand and innovate. These include year-round professional development and engagement in the WBENC network, both virtually and in-person. These platforms provide connections with major corporations and other WBEs, alongside access to events and programming.
The Boeh Agency’s recent certification further solidifies its standing as a pioneer in the water industry. It also aligns with its commitment to shattering barriers and fostering empowerment, setting a positive example for other women-owned businesses in the sector.
