TRINTERNATIONAL GETS WOMEN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS CERTIFICATION
TRInternational, Inc. has been awarded the WBENC Certification from the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). TRI’s CEO Megan Gluth-Bohan acquired the majority ownership in the company in February 2020 after serving as the company’s CEO since 2018 and previously as the general counsel and president. GluthBohan’s ownership allows TRI to qualify as a women-owned business for the first time in its 26-year history. The WBENC certification validates that TRI is over 51% owned, controlled, operated, and managed by a woman and requires extensive documentation and interviews to obtain. “We are honored to officially be designated as a Women’s Business Enterprise,” she said. “We are excited to connect with and serve companies who share our commitments to diversity and inclusion as well as our commitment to high performance. Companies that have the need or desire to diversify their supply chain and partnerships can now utilize TRInternational, Inc. to fulfill those diversity requirements.”
