Session Description: 

The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) is the exclusive 3rd-party national certification body for LGBTQ-owned businesses. 

They issue LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) Certification to for-profit businesses that are at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by an LGBTQ+ business owner(s). 

Join this virtual session with ORPIB and NGLCC to learn about how to make this certification work for you and your business, from access to diverse supplier contracts with the NGLCC network of Corporate Partners, to NGLCC mentorship program, and other benefits closer to home.

Great news for ORPIB Members, LGBTBE Certification fees are waived for active OPRIB members in good standing — that's an $899 savings on initial certification that you can put back into your business.
