Is your business 51% or more LGBT-owned? If so, you don't want to miss this webinar to learn more about how to become an LGBT certified business enterprise (LGBTBE®). The LGBTBE® certification gives LGBT business owners a host of opportunities to enhance your visibility with corporations seeking to do business with LGBT suppliers.

In this webinar, participants will learn more about the LGBTBE® certification and how to get certified from our presenter, Sabrina Gill Kent, Senior Vice President, with the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). The NGLCC is the official certifying body for the LGBTBE® certification.

Participants will also hear from Brian Hall, Manager of Supplier Diversity and Outreach and Small Business Liaison, with our corporate partner, Shell Oil Company.
