Women of Exceptional Achievement

In 2005, the Women Presidents' Organization (WPO) and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) joined together to form The Zenith Group. For those women-owned businesses with revenues of $50 million and above, Zenith brings together WPO and WBENC peers from across the country to drive business breakthroughs. The group meets twice a year, once on the East Coast and once on the West Coast. Through the WPO-WBENC partnership The Zenith Group works to achieve the following objectives:
1. To develop cutting edge information and strategies for successful and fast growth companies.
2. To provide high level business meetings and business development opportunities with Fortune 1000 companies.
3. Change the way women-owned businesses are perceived in corporate America and the media.

Members must first be a chapter member or a member-at-large and WBENC-certified. Potential members who are not yet certified may join while they are undergoing the certification process provided that it is completed within 120 days.
