Gretchen Roufs Marketing and Public Relations, under Auxiliary Marketing Services, has received the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Women-Owned Small Business Program (WOSB) designation.

This qualifies the company to be eligible for federal contracts that are reserved for WOSBs. This certification is available to small businesses that provide products or services in 83 eligible categories that are substantially underrepresented by women and are at least 51 percent owned and controlled by one or more women.

“Many government entities and their contractors actively seek to do business with certified businesses. The certification procedures are strict, and I’m glad — and relieved — we were able to qualify for this certification,” said Gretchen Roufs, company owner.  “We provide services in three of the 83 categories that the federal government deems as underrepresented by women-owned businesses.” 

Roufs is based in San Antonio, andf has worked in the jan-san industry for over 25 years.
