Owen awarded certification by SOMWBA

Date: 11/2/2009

WILBRAHAM Owen Employee Benefit Strategies LLC of Wilbraham has recently been certified by SOMWBA, the State Office of Minority and Women Business Assistance, as a woman-owned business enterprise.

Massachusetts' General Law requires firms who bid for state contracts in the areas of goods, services, construction and design to commit to partner with certified minority and woman owned business enterprises in order to be awarded a contract. In August 1996, the Affirmative Market Program of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was established in compliance with Executive Order 390 to institute policies designed to promote the award of state contracts in a manner that develops and strengthens certified minority and woman owned business enterprises.

Utilizing Owen Employee Benefit Strategies as a SOMWBA certified ancillary subcontractor for employee benefits allows your firm to take advantage of the Affirmative Market Program and will get you one step closer to a positive approval process.

Owen Employee Benefit Strategies is owned by Victoria J. Owen, RHU, a Wilbraham resident.
