SRB Communications and CEO Sheila Brooks Receive Top 100 MBE Award for the Washington, DC region
SRB Communications was recently honored by the Governor’s Office in the State of Maryland and received the prestigious Top 100 Minority Business Enterprise Award. This program is designed to acknowledge and pay tribute to outstanding women and minority business owners in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia with a reach of more than 400,000 women and minority owners. With more than 1,400 nominations from businesses across the region, a panel of distinguished judges chose the winners based on demonstrated outstanding achievement in four key areas:
eligibility, entrepreneurship, professionalism and community contributions.
“SRB Communications represents the best of what our region’s minority business community has to offer,” said Sharon R. Pinder, founder of the Top 100 MBE Awards Ceremony. “This award is the culmination of sacrifice, dedication and hard work and will inspire future minority business entrepreneurs to strive for the same level of success.”
