The CMI Group, an ACA International member company based in Plano, Texas, announced this week it has been officially designated as a Certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
The WBENC is the largest certifier of women’s business enterprises in the U.S. and a leading advocate for women business owners, leaders and entrepreneurs.
“We could not have achieved this certification without the participation of our dedicated owner-employees, and we are incredibly proud of all of our owners,” said Carrie Finney, president and CEO of The CMI Group. “This certification positions The CMI Group within business markets and verticals that are committed to partnering with WBEs and organizations such as ours.”
The rigorous certification process includes a review of business documentation and confirmation that the business is owned, operated and managed by a majority of women. With more than 600 employees in its global operations, The CMI Group is a 100% employee stock ownership plan company, giving every employee a vested interest in the company’s growth and success.
“WBE certification aligns with our organization’s values and our commitment to our owner-employees, partners and customers,” Finney said. “This certification is significant because The CMI Group can now help our partners and customers achieve their supplier diversity goals and demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and equity.”
