Square One Organic Spirits – which pioneered the concept of organic vodka and botanical spirits almost 15 years ago – said it has been certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women Presidents’ Educational Organization-DC, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
“Female voices are under-represented at all levels in business, and a certification from WBENC unifies those voices into a collective of women supporting women,” said Allison Evanow, founder of Square One Organic Spirits.
“As one of the first women to start her own brand in the liquor industry, I know how critical a network is to overcoming the daily challenges of business, while exploring new opportunities. The WBENC not only helps open doors, but it also helps make sure you have an ally on the other side.”
WBENC’s national standard of certification implemented by the Women’s President’s Educational Organization – DC, is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women.
