Each year we celebrate the success and contributions of our most engaged and active WPEO-certified WBEs and Corporate Members in the New York and Washington, D.C. regions. Prestigious awards recognize their hard work and dedication. Both WBEs and corporate members are eligible for recognition through WPEO’s Done Deals™ and Awards programs.
WPEO Awards bring public recognition to businesses and individuals that have shown an outstanding degree of support for WPEO’s mission and serve as an inspiration to others.
WPEO-certified WBEs and Corporate Members are eligible for Done Deal™ Awards based on the number and value of Done Deals™ they submitted during the previous year’s challenge period.
