I.C. System Certified as a Women-owned Business Enterprise (WBE)

St. Paul, Minn. (March 14, 2011) - I.C. System announced it has gained official certification as a Women-owned Business Enterprise (WBE) by C.E.R.T., Central Certification Program in St. Paul.

"We're excited to officially proclaim what in many ways has been evident since the inception of our company in 1938...that we are indeed a women-owned business. We know how important this type of designation can be to some of our clients," said Barb Erickson, I.C. System's Chairman and CEO.

The C.E.R.T. certification process determines if the business is at least fifty-one percent owned by one or more women, and has its management and daily business operations controlled by one or more women who own it.

"My grandmother was at the helm of I.C. System for over 30 years and it is partly through her dogged determination and clear vision that we are still thriving today, seven decades later," said John Erickson, President of I.C. System. "We are proud to be recognized as a women-owned business."
