Did you know that more than 160 corporations, including Wells Fargo, PG&E, Facebook and BART, now recognize certified LGBT owned businesses as part of their diverse and inclusive supply chains? With a membership tailored to Inland Northwest LGBT business owners, the INBA has guided many members to national certification as a NGLCC LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) — let’s continue to show our diversity in the INW!

The INBA works in partnership with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) to bring to our members the opportunity to get their businesses certified as an LGBT Business Enterprise.  NGLCC is the exclusive third-party organization for the LGBT Business Enterprises certification.

Does your business meet the following criteria?

1. Majority (at least 51%) owned, operated, managed, and controlled by an LGBT person or persons who are either U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents
2. Exercises independence from any non-LGBT business enterprise
3. Has its principal place of business (headquarters) in the United States
4. Has been formed as a legal business entity in the United States

In 2018, the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index will begin to require that companies make efforts to include LGBTBEs in their supply chains in order to receive a score of 100. Your company can benefit from this historic opportunity.
