Dallas, TX – July 17, 2023 – Enspira, an innovative human resources consultancy, is proud to announce its recertification as a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Business Enterprise® (Certified LGBTBE®) through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) Supplier Diversity Initiative. Enspira received its original certification on June 21, 2021. The NGLCC is the business voice of the LGBT community and serves as the nation’s exclusive certifying body for LGBT-owned and operated businesses.
“As a member of the LGBTQ community and Founder and CEO of Enspira, this recertification reaffirms our dedication and commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) in everything we do,” said Kurt Landon, founder and CEO of Enspira. “Enspira brings deep expertise and commitment to DEIB and can serve for-profit and nonprofit organizations of all sizes and industries, creating cultures of belonging by developing and integrating sustainable DEIB practices and programs.”
With the LGBTBE certification, Enspira will continue to participate in the NGLCC’s supplier diversity programs with the Fortune 500 and government agencies nationwide, take advantage of the vast educational opportunities promoted by the NGLCC, and will work to foster business-to-business relationships with other Certified LGBTBE® companies worldwide. Over one-third of Fortune 500 companies recognize this certification and partner with NGLCC to create fully LGBT-inclusive supply chains.
“We are so pleased to welcome Enspira to the ever-expanding network of NGLCC-certified LGBT Business Enterprises and the hundreds of corporations and government agencies eager to put them to work,” said NGLCC Co-Founder and President Justin Nelson and Co-Founder and CEO Chance Mitchell. “According to NGLCC’s groundbreaking America’s LGBT Economy report, America’s estimated 1.4 million LGBT business owners, many of them NGLCC certified, add over $1.7 trillion to the GDP and create tens of thousands of new jobs. We are proud to count Enspira among those who prove every day that LGBT businesses are the future of the American economy.”
As part of the recertification, Enspira will continue to participate in the NGLCC’s supplier diversity programs with the Fortune 500 and government agencies nationwide, take advantage of the vast educational opportunities promoted by the NGLCC, and will work to foster business to business relationships with other Certified LGBTBE® companies worldwide throughout the year, and especially at the NGLCC International Business & Leadership Conference.
