About Certified Diverse Supplier / LGBTBE® Recognition

National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) Supplier Diversity Initiative offers LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE®) certification. The NGLCC is the nation’s exclusive certifying body for LGBT owned and operated businesses.

“America’s top corporations are eager to do business with the LGBT community,” said Justin G. Nelson, President and Co-Founder of the NGLCC. “This is reflected in the ever-growing list of NGLCC corporate partners.”

With this official certification, the NGLCC, its organizational allies, and corporate partners now nationally recognize Lead at Any Level® as a diverse supplier. The firm joins the growing ranks of over 1,000 certified LGBTBEs.

“Recognition as a certified LGBT Business Enterprise is a cornerstone of our growth strategy,” said Amy C. Waninger, Founder and CEO of Lead at Any Level®. “I’m looking forward to scaling the company’s offerings, which include training and licensed intellectual property, to meet the needs of America’s largest and most prestigious corporations.”

Lead at Any Level® is now eligible to participate in the NGLCC’s corporate partners’ supplier diversity programs. The firm can take advantage of the vast educational opportunities promoted by the NGLCC. As a certified LGBTBE, Lead at Any Level® can also work to foster business-to-business relationships with other LGBTBEs.
