Montclair PR Firm Certified As NJ Women’s Business Enterprise

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The JPR Group, a Montclair-based public relations and marketing communications firm, recently announced its certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the state of New Jersey.

“We are very proud to receive the WBE certification,” said Jeanine Genauer, principal and chief communicator.

“The WBE designation demonstrates a commitment to fostering diversity and enhances opportunities for small diversity businesses to play a major role in local and national organizations,” Genauer said.

A WBE is a woman-owned and controlled company that meets the criteria established by NJ A.C 17:46 Act, promulgated by the New Jersey Commerce Commission to ensure equal opportunity for minority and women's businesses. The act maintains that fostering diversity and encouraging the continued health of Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), Women Business Enterprises (WBEs), and other socially or financially disadvantaged entrepreneurs is vital to the growth and stability of New Jersey’s economy.

The JPR Group specializes in public relations, marketing communications and social media marketing.

It has previously been recognized as a “Leading Brand Builder” by Leading Women Entrepreneurs, and is a recipient of the New Jersey Monthly Magazine's “Great Oak Award” for charitable and nonprofit work.
