Gravely & Associates recognized the need for qualified "Women Owned Businesses" (WOB's) within the financial and insurance arena for corporate business and government entities. Because of this need for qualified WOB's, Gravely & Associates applied for and received the "Women's Business Enterprise" (WBE) certification through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council. Please refer to the website: Women's Business Enterprise National Council With this certification comes the recognition by over 700 corporate businesses as a qualified and approved WBE service provider.  In November, 2010, Gravely and Associates was awarded the 2010 "Trail Blazer of the Year Award" as well as "Volunteer of the Year Award" by the Greater Women's Business Council at the 10 annual "LACE" (Ladies Acheiving Continued Success) Awards Evening held in Atlanta, Georgia.
