The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) proudly celebrates its 20th Anniversary year by recognising an exclusive group of WBENC-certified women business owners known as Women of Distinction. Pamela O’Rourke of ICON Information Consultants is proud to be included as one of the 25 women leaders who have demonstrated a deep commitment to the organisation and to breaking down barriers for women-owned businesses in corporate and government supply chains. The Women of Distinction programme was established to create a strategic role for highly successful and dedicated Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) as advisors to WBENC, supporting the growth and success of all WBEs. WBENC is honoured to showcase the Women of Distinction as they celebrate 20 years of success.
“The Women of Distinction programme allows leaders to give back to a community they feel passionate about, while playing a key mentorship role. As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we are so proud of the inaugural group of Women of Distinction, including Pamela O’Rourke of ICON Information Consultants, for her leadership and commitment to our organisation and the women’s business community.”
Pamela Prince-Eason, WBENC President & CEO
