It’s Official, We Are NYS MWBE Certified
WE SAY YES TO OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION
LNW Enterprises, LLC is proud to announce its recent certification as a minority and women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) through New York State (NYS). After a rigorous application process, we’re thrilled to join this growing roster of businesses. Diversity is key to business success in NYS, and this program helps to advocate for increased opportunities, eliminate barriers, and promote equal utilization on state contracts.
By the numbers, MWBE utilization on state contracts is 30.64% with over $24 billion in state contracts. We are honored to finally be one of the 9,700 companies certified. LNW Enterprises was founded to make a meaningful difference in our community through the impact of event design, planning, and orchestration. As our firm continues to evolve, we remain guided by founding principles that got us started — collaboration, opportunity, growth, unity. As such, we aspire to work with partners who also champion these fundamental ideals — and whose missions advance all people in our community.
“There are many benefits to being vetted and receiving the MWBE certification,” says Founder LaToya Williams. “One of which is the ability to increase your company platform, but it also helps to drive revenue and hire staff. Small businesses are the backbone of many communities, and I am proud to contribute.”
Looking for a company to transform events from ordinary to unforgettable? Partner with us, a certified MWBE firm, to creatively carry out your project goals.

About the NYS Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises Certification Campaign :
Strengthening New York's Economy and Equal Opportunity in State Contracting
“Former Governor Cuomo launched the MWBE Certification Campaign to encourage minority and women business owners to certify with the State and take advantage of current and upcoming State procurement opportunities and billions of dollars in State procurement opportunities.”
“Under the Governor's leadership, the State has certified more than 4,300 MWBEs and recertified more than 3,600 MWBEs. In 2014, the Governor pledged to increase MWBE certification by an additional 2,000 businesses, a goal that the State exceeded in January 2016. As a result, the number of State-certified firms has more than doubled in just five years. Keeping with his commitment to MWBEs and the small business community, former Governor Cuomo pledged to certify another 2,000 firms over the next two years.”
