Empowered Women Create Healthier Lives and Stronger Communities

(January 17, 2017) – The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) proudly celebrates their 20th Anniversary year by recognizing an exclusive group of WBENC-Certified women business owners known as Women of Distinction. Sue Bhatia Chairman/Founder of Rose International is proud to be included as one of the 25 women leaders who have demonstrated a deep commitment to the organization and to breaking down barriers for women owned businesses in the corporate and government supply chains. The Women of Distinction program was established to create a strategic role for highly successful and dedicated Women's Business Enterprises (WBE's) as advisors to WBENC, supporting the growth and success of all WBE's. WBENC is honored to showcase the Women of Distinction as they celebrate 20 years of success.

"As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we are so proud of the inaugural group of the Women of Distinction, including Sue Bhatia of Rose International for her leadership and commitment to our organization and the women's business community," said WBENC President and CEO Pamela Prince-Eason.
