EverGlade Consulting is excited to announce that it has been approved as a Certified LGBT Business Enterprise^® with the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) Supplier Diversity Initiative.

Visibility and representation have been shown to be marked characteristics that foster more inclusivity and advance equitable agendas within businesses, organizations, and even governmental entities.
