NGLCC Allied SME Certification

Description

As part of our ongoing partnership with the National LGBTQ+ and Allied Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), we are excited to invite you to an upcoming educational session introducing the new NGLCC Allied SME Certification program.

This new certification is designed for small and medium-sized businesses that are not majority LGBTQ+ owned but are committed to supporting and engaging with the LGBTQ+ and allied business community. It provides a credible, nationally recognized way for businesses to demonstrate their commitment as an LGBTQ+ community ally while expanding opportunities for visibility, engagement, and growth.

During this session, attendees will learn:

• What NGLCC Allied SME Certification is and who qualifies
• How businesses can leverage the certification in branding and business development
• Ways certification can help strengthen relationships with LGBTQ+ owned businesses, customers, and the broader LGBTQ+ and allied network
• Details about the companion GSMECC certification and how it aligns businesses with globally recognized SME standards
• Eligibility requirements, timelines, and the certification process
• How to gain visibility within a network of nearly 400 multinational corporations working to broaden their engagement with SME vendors.
