Recertification is not automatic. The owner is sent a courtesy reminder 120 days prior to the expiration date of the company’s certification. The reminder email will be sent to the primary owner’s email address on file, and will be generated from the WBENCLink2.0 system. However, WBENC does not guarantee receipt of the reminder e-mail and recommends the WBE marks its calendar as a reminder to begin the process at least 90 days prior to its expiration date.
