Ok I understand, you had previously stated minority owned, veteran owned, woman owned business.

Now suddenly it becomes the Women Business Enterprise National Council certification.

Who exactly offers this certifcation?

I am sure that Bank of America would accept the SDB 8(A) certfication as well.

Once again this gets me nowhere lighthouse, but thank you for your assistance.

Once again I must reempahsize the point of this thread.

I am looking for assitance from anyone that is an employee or representative of Bank Of America. My request is to find contact information in regards to the any Corporate Supplier Diversity Programs Bank Of America might have.

If you are not a rep or employee of Bank of America please do not respond to this with information you find on the internet, as this will not help me.

Also, if you know of contact information in regards to any Corporate Supplier Diversity Programs I would appreciate your help.

I am not looking for something you can find during a google search, I am more specifically looking for direct contact information of someone that might be able to help.


Thank you.

Intechspecial: I am sure that Bank of America would accept the SDB 8(A) certfication as well.

On what are basing that conclusion? I mean, it's your time and energy -- but personally if a big business is telling my small business how to do business with them, and other small businesses have successfully done business with that same big business by following that exact process, then I think I'd follow that process instead the one I want to use.

I agree with you completely in regards to this.

The problem I have found is that Big Businesses does not wish for me to do business with them, and I am overlooked.

I end up spending days, hours, weeks, months, trying to generate contracts to absolutely no avail.

I felt that it would be easier for me to get a straight forward answer via an email or phone contact, a business or Executive that might be able to assist me considering my circumstances.

If I am not able to speak with someone directly, why would I want to try and generate business when the competition on this level is extreme, and I am considered a "poor choice" for any big business.
