2012-07-26
BOSTON, MA, July 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Center for Women and Enterprise (CWE), regional certifying partner of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), awarded national Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) certification to 23 women-owned businesses during first and second quarters of 2012.

As of 2011, it is estimated that there are over 8.1 million women-owned businesses in America, generating $1.3 trillion in revenue and employing nearly 7.7 million people nationwide.
