Why get LGBTBE® Certified?
• Identifying your LGBT owned business through national
diversity supplier certification adds value to your business
by providing another channel through which to market your
products or services.
• Major U.S. corporations and the public sector are
increasingly demonstrating a commitment to a diverse
supply chain by not only creating inclusive work
environments and marketing to a broad, diverse
consumer base but also by purchasing products and
services directly from LGBTBE certified businesses.
• The Greater Houston LGBT Chamber was proud to lead
the effort to work with Mayor Turner and the City of
Houston Office of Business Opportunity to recognize
LGBT-owned businesses in city contracting and
procurement. The first city in Texas! As an LGBTBE®
Certified business, business owners have access to
valuable resources and tools at the City of Houston.
• By becoming a certified LGBTBE®, business owners are
able to build relationships with America’s leading
corporations as well as governmental entities and
generate prospective business and clients, and
collectively team with each other for contracting
opportunities.
• Certified LGBTBEs are routinely sought after by NGLCC
Corporate Partners and many Chamber Corporate
Partners who are looking to increase their purchasing
within diverse communities.
