“I believe wholeheartedly in what the GWBC® and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) stand for and look forward to the opportunity to be a strong advocate for women-owned businesses,” Ms. Galyardt says.

WBENC, a non-profit organization, is the largest third-party certifier of businesses owned, controlled, and operated by women in the United States and the leading advocate for women-owned businesses as suppliers to America’s top corporations. GWBC® is one of 14 Regional Partner Organizations, providing the national certification for this region, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, to women business enterprises.

GWBC® notes on its website that, “An increasing focus on supplier diversity means major corporations are viewing our women business enterprises as innovative, flexible and competitive solutions. The number of women-owned businesses is rising to reflect an increasingly diverse consumer base of women making a majority of buying decision for herself, her family and her business.”

Ms. Galyardt says she and GWBC® stand together on the Council’s guiding principles. “Delivering financial value, continuing the momentum from good to great, collaborating with partner organizations, and investing in people and community are what XIOSS and women-owned businesses are all about,” Ms. Galyardt adds.
