Business Enterprise Star"

Honored Before 1,500 Business Leaders at “Salute To Women’s Business Enterprises”

Plano, TX, March 22, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The nation's largest certifier of women-owned businesses and
leader in women's business development, the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)
has recognized Claudia Mirza, CEO of Akorbi, a language service organization, as a “Women's Business
Enterprise (WBE) Star” in recognition of her leadership in business and as an inspiration to women in
multicultural communities and business.

The WBE Star Award is the nation's premier recognition for excellence among women-owned
businesses, honoring 14 women from across the country who are leaders in their local business
communities and respective fields.

The 2018 WBE Stars are being honored during the “2018 WBENC Summit & Salute,” a gathering of
more than 1,500 entrepreneurs and business leaders taking place March 20 - 22, 2018 in Dallas, Texas.

“We are very proud of the 2018 WBE Stars,” says Pamela Prince-Eason, President and CEO of WBENC.

economic growth.”

“I am deeply grateful and honored to receive such an esteemed recognition from the Women's Business
Enterprise National Council among such an accomplished group of women business and community
leaders from around the country who join me in receiving this award,” said Claudia Mirza. “I've always
been passionate about advocating for and helping other women who are, or aspire to be business leaders
because I understand first-hand the challenges we face.”

Mirza will be recognized for her business acumen, her inspiration to other women, and her active role at
the helm of Akorbi. She was selected for this national honor by Debbie Hurst, President of the Women's
Business Council - Southwest (WBCS). Debbie is one of WBENC's 14 RPOs that process WBENC's
