Ms. Alemán is an active member of the USWCC and an advocate for the success of women leaders. She frequently mentors and supports emerging leaders of woman- and minority-owned businesses, especially during challenging periods like government shutdowns and the COVID-19 pandemic. Citizant strives to partner with leading woman-owned and minority-owned businesses that bring innovation, drive, and highly specialized expertise as it provides federal agencies with technology and business transformation solutions.
“I am honored and humbled by this award and look forward to continued collaboration with the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce,” said Ms. Alemán. “The Chamber works passionately and tirelessly to advocate on a wide range of issues affecting small businesses of all types and provides much-needed training and networking for woman-owned small businesses. I dedicate this award to all the women entrepreneurs who struggle in the face of overwhelming personal and professional obstacles to protect their employees, create secure jobs, serve their customers with passion and excellence, and live out their values with integrity.”
“As a founder and CEO of the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce, I have been proud to watch the accomplishments of Alba Alemán and her great company, Citizant,” said Margot Dorfman, CEO of the USWCC. “Always ready to lend a hand, Ms. Alemán is a model leader – stepping up, reaching out, and providing trusted insights and mentorship. She is a model business and community leader. The USWCC is what it is today, in part, due to the great contributions of Ms. Alemán.”
Citizant supports the USWCC’s efforts to change the rules around “Category Management” procurement to stop the loss of woman-owned and other small businesses that seek to contract with the U.S. government. During a U.S. House Small Business Committee subcommittee hearing on Oct. 13, 2021 titled “Growing the Small Business Supplier Base in Government Contracting,” Ms. Alemán testified on behalf of woman-owned businesses and other small businesses that find it increasingly difficult to compete with large business for government contracts.
