Camp Broadway LLC Receives WBENC Certification As Officially Woman-Owned And Led

Camp Broadway LLC is pleased to announce the company has received national certification as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women Presidents' Educational Organization in New York, a regional certifying partner of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

"We are proud that Camp Broadway has joined the nearly 2,000 certified WBEs in the Northeast region," said Dr. Marsha Firestone, Founder and President of the Women Presidents' Educational Organization. WBENC's national standard of certification is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women."

"Being a WBENC-Certified WBE is an important credential for Camp Broadway as we begin to focus our new business development efforts outside the performing arts sector," says Susan E. Lee, Chief Strategist. "This certification coupled with our long-standing relationships with the leading producers, performing arts centers, and rights holders in the Broadway industry enables us to better promote our authorized theatrical programs and products to hundreds of corporations, educational institutions and government agencies who are committed to diversifying their suppliers."

Camp Broadway is the leading producer of quality performing arts experiences and enrichment programming for theatregoers of all ages. The company was dubbed the "Camp of Dreams" by Live Magazine and honored in 2016 with a Special Drama Desk Awards "for introducing young people to the magic of theater and for playing a crucial role in creating tomorrow's audiences." Founded in 1995, it has since hosted over 40,000 children from around the world at its camps and special events, as well as led more than 420,000 students at educational workshops. Summer 2019 marks Camp Broadways' 25th summer camp in New York City and the 20th anniversary of the company's annual national tour.
