Fast-Growing Firm Meets State Certification Standards as Women-Owned Business

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (December 7, 2017) AFIT STAFFING, INC. (aFit) a privately owned business specializing in information technology and medical was recently awarded the certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the State of Indiana. To qualify for the certification, the WBE must be at least 51% owned by qualifying women who possess expertise in the field, control the business enterprise, and are US Citizens.

As a WBE certified by the Indiana Department of Administration, the business entity is considered for subcontracting opportunities on state contracts in Indiana, which provide for the attainment of business diversity goals. aFit will receive notification of state business opportunities and access to training opportunities.

aFit was founded in 2014 by Dr. Jennifer Russell, an Indianapolis-based Orthodontist who brings with her the experience of owning her own private practice and medical staffing since 2003. Julie Booth and Russell decided in 2017 to be co-owners of aFit as Booth brings over 25 years in information technology and business consultative experience working with government clients all over North America.

As a Purdue University Electrical Engineering graduate and supporter of women in STEM, Booth, aFit President, shares, I see the certification as a formal recognition of the significant influence women have had and continue to make in the growth of the economy- specifically in Indiana. As we look to further develop solutions for our clients, we will serve as an ethical and proactive partner.

Russell, Vice President, states, It is an exciting time in Indiana with all the economic growth and projects that are getting more and more technologically advanced.
