From the beginning, Paragon has been dedicated to maintaining a corporate culture based on equal opportunity, diversity and life balance. Women constitute the majority of our entire workforce, including the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) positions. In 2003, Paragon was certified by two organizations' the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) as a Woman-Owned Business. This designation has, in turn, benefited our sponsor's own diversity initiatives.
In 2005, the Orange County chapter of NAWBO awarded Paragon founder Gena Reed its Remarkable Business Woman of the Year Award, further evidence of Paragon's continuing commitment to cultivating a balanced, diverse workforce.
