Vendorship Inc., a leading coaching firm specializing in government contracting and business development, has been honored as one of the Top 10 Asian American businesses in the Southeast by the US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Southeast Chapter (USPAACC-SE). The prestigious award, which recognizes significant financial achievement and business growth, was presented at the Dia Gala Awards at the Gas South Convention Center Oct. 10.

This accolade celebrates Vendorship’s sustained business success and its commitment to providing opportunities for other Asian American and diverse businesses. Vendorship has seen remarkable growth, driven by its mission to help businesses, of all sizes and sectors, navigate the complexities of government contracts and scale their operations.

"We are truly honored to receive this recognition," said Dr. Nazeera Dawood, CEO of Vendorship, "At Vendorship, we believe in creating pathways for success, not just for ourselves, but for the community around us. This award reaffirms our commitment to fostering growth and opportunities for Asian American businesses and beyond."

This year, Dr. Nazeera Dawood was also nominated as the Minority Business Enterprise Advocate of the Year at the Spirit of Alliance Awards by the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council. She also received nominations for Advocate of the Year (Women Business Enterprise) and for Trailblazer of the Year at the LACE Awards by the Greater Women Business Council.

With a proven track record in helping businesses secure government contracts, Vendorship’s societal contributions were also acknowledged earlier this year by the Atlanta City Council and the Georgia State Capitol. The company held the Vendorship Unleashed Competition during Black History Month to highlight and empower black businesses. 

In addition to helping businesses successfully bid on government contracts, Vendorship has launched new compliance and regulatory certification services for organizations keen on obtaining certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC I & II, ISO 27701, HIPAA, GDPR and others.
