About Us

WBEC-West is a nonprofit organization that connects women owned businesses to corporate and government opportunities through nationally recognized WBENC certification. We open doors to procurement leaders, strategic relationships, and a powerful network of women entrepreneurs across the West.

WBEC-West administers the WBENC certification process for our region, supporting applicants with certification requirements, documentation standards, and conducting the verification process in alignment with WBENC national guidelines. WBEC-West is 1 of 14 WBENC Regional Partner Organizations nationwide, proudly serving Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Southern California, Utah, Wyoming, Guam, and American Samoa.

In addition to certification, WBEC West delivers business development programming, supplier diversity education, and targeted networking that helps women owned businesses increase visibility, strengthen capabilities, and build connections that lead to personal and business growth.
