Fehlig’s Star Award celebrates her outstanding participation in chapter programs and events, support for other women in business, and innovative solutions for doing business with corporate members and other WBEs.
In congratulating her on the award, Sandra Eberhard, CEO and President of WBEC Greater DMV said, “The Fehlig Group exemplifies the possibilities that come with utilizing the WBENC Certification.
