"Having WBENC certification is valuable to The Castle Group for more than one reason. Obviously, we have the opportunity to bid on business that's appropriate to our status as a public relations and events management company.
The CWE staff has added value to our certification by taking the time to get to know us and our business, and provide advice and suggestions that can help us maximize our certification. That's the difference between having a certification and using that certification."
