For five consecutive years, UPS has been named among America’s Top Corporations for Women Business Enterprises by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). In 2003, UPS spent more than US$187 million with women- and minority-owned firms. UPS received the "Corporate Partner of the Year" Award from NAWBO D/FW in 2003. In addition, NAWBO D/FW awarded UPS several "Above & Beyond Awards" in the same year.

 

In June 2004, UPS was the sole sponsor of “The Texas Marketplace”, a unique exhibit area showcasing all three Texas NAWBO chapters—Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, at the NAWBO National Conference in Dallas from June 3-5, 2004.

 

The Texas Marketplace was housed in the UPS Pavilion in the NAWBO Exhibit area during the conference. In addition, UPS provided a staffed UPS Customer Shipping Center at the conference. “UPS was proud to sponsor The Texas Marketplace at NAWBO’s National Conference this past summer in Dallas,” said Tony Bordenave, UPS Southwest Region Marketing Manager. “The UPS Customer Shipping Center offered conference attendees the convenience of shipping their purchases, collectibles and paperwork, acquired during their stay in Dallas, directly back to their homes or offices.”

 

UPS also sponsored WBENC’s National Conference in New Orleans from June 22-24, 2004.
