What are the Business Pride Awards?

Why your Business Should Become LGBTBE Certified
By becoming a certified LGBTBE, businesses can build relationships with America’s leading corporations, generate prospective business and clients, and collectively team with each other for contracting opportunities. As corporate America becomes more inclusive and further diversifies its supply chain, certification offers the opportunity for LGBT-owned businesses to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
