In addition, ICON proudly took home the WBEA\u2019s Supplier of the Year Award. <\/p>\n WBEA\u2019s Cutting Edge Awards recognise members and Women Business Enterprises for the amount of business they have done with women-owned businesses. These businesses are on the “cutting edge” of shaping supplier diversity and levelling the field for women-owned businesses to compete. The Connection Awards recognise corporate members and WBEs for their engagement with the WBEA and those that exemplify their mission to increase business opportunities for women-owned businesses. O\u2019Rourke is honoured to be recognised among her peers and other women entrepreneurs and minority business owners by WBEA as Advocate of the Year. Criteria for being awarded WBEA\u2019s Advocate of the Year included financial support to the organisation, WBEA involvement and servitude, as well as the level of support to other minority-owned businesses and advocacy organisations for supplier diversity. ICON has been a Certified Women\u2019s Business Enterprise since 2001, and O\u2019Rourke continues to support and mentor other women business owners through donations, scholarships, and serving on various WBEA boards and committees. <\/p>\n ICON was recognised for its innovation in human capital solutions.
