Coranet Corp. Wins Done Deals Access New York City Award and WBE Done Deals Champion Award for 2014

    NEW YORK, NY, September 16, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Women Presidents' Educational Organization (WPEO) has awarded the Done Deals Access New York City Award and WBE Done Deals Champion Award to Coranet Corp. The WPEO presents these annual awards to the Women Business Enterprise (WBE) with the most "Done Deals" with the City of New York and to the WBE that reports the most Done Deals with other certified WBEs and Done Deals with the WPEO New York and Washington DC Sponsors. CEO Margaret Marcucci's team accepted this award at the WPEO Annual Breakthrough Breakfast and Procurement Fair at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on September 12th, 2014. Coranet was pleased to be both a lead sponsor of and exhibitor at this event.

Coranet won the Champion category for the first time this year. We have previously received these awards since 2007, including the Done Deals Leadership Award (2012), Done Deals New York State (2008, 2010) and Done Deals New York City (2007, 2010, 2012). Margaret Marcucci is a strong proponent of the Done Deals; for example she presented last year's award to the recipient.

As the CEO of Coranet, Ms. Marcucci places a high priority on supporting other woman-owned businesses. She has taken an active role in the Women Presidents Organization (WPO) and the WPEO (Women Presidents' Educational Organization). For example she represents WPEO on the prestigious Women's Enterprise Leadership Forum, which drives the success of all WBENC- certified Women's Business Enterprises (WBEs) through education, opportunities and resources.

Ms. Marcucci has been recognized by the business community for her achievements and leadership ability, for example (a) one of New Jersey's 2014 Top 50 Women in Business, according to NJBIZ Magazine; and (b) named as one of the Top 25 Leading Women Entrepreneurs in New Jersey by the Leading Women Entrepreneur's (LWE) initiative; and (c) a finalist for SmartCEO's 2014 Small Business Awards in the Supplier Diversity Category.

Ms. Marcucci and her team also serve on the WBENC certification review committee for woman-owned businesses in New York and New Jersey seeking to be certified by WBENC. This provides an opportunity for her to meet and mentor many newer WBE's. Today we are providing services to and purchase goods and services from many other WBEs.
