Indianapolis, Ind. — Janie Goldberg, President of Indianapolis-based
OmniSource Marketing, the largest Indiana-based promotional marketing agency, today received the nation's premier award for excellence among Women's Business Enterprises (WBEs) at The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) Salute to Women's Business Enterprises event which is being held in Baltimore, Md.
Each year, this honor is given to 14 women business owners from across the county. The gala is the concluding event to WBENC’s annual Summit & Salute, which convenes more than 1,500 corporate and government executives, WBEs and members of WBENC’s Regional Partner Organizations (RPOs). Goldberg was recognized for her business accomplishments, her inspiration to other women, and her active role at the helm of OmniSource Marketing. She was selected for this national honor by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council – Great Lakes.
“I am proud to receive this recognition from WBENC and look forward to serving as an advocate to other women in business,” said Goldberg. “As a woman who graduated from college in the mid-1960s when the doors of corporate America were mostly closed to female executives, I had to respond to the world around me and turn to entrepreneurship. Almost 50 years later, it’s exciting to see how deeply committed corporations are to onboarding women business enterprises into the supply chain.”
“Janie Goldberg is an outstanding leader who demonstrates how women’s businesses can drive innovation and fuel economic growth,” said Pamela Prince-Eason, President and CEO of WBENC, the nation’s leader in women’s business development.
