Saugatuck Commercial Real Estate (SCRE), received national certification as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women Presidents' Educational Organization, a regional certifying partner of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), according to Penny Wickey, principal of SCRE.
WBENC's national standard of certification implemented by the Women Presidents' Educational Organization is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection.
