Alert Management Systems announced that it has been officially designated as a Certified Woman-Owned Small Business by the US Women’s Chamber of Commerce. Alert is now eligible for the WOSB Program, as set forth in 13 C.F.R. part 127 and has been certified as such by an SBA approved Third Party Certifier.
Co-owned by Mary Crosslin and Kara Longmire, Alert Management Systems achieved its WOSB Designation on January 17. Crosslin and Longmire were long-time managers with Alert prior to becoming the sole owners in 2016. Mary Crosslin is the co-president and chief operations officer and oversees all of Client Care and Programming. Crosslin holds a BS in Political Science from Stetson University and began her career at Alert in 1998. Longmire, who began her career with Alert in 2008, has a BS in Accounting from Oklahoma State University. She is the co-president and CEO and handles sales and finance/administration.
“Mary and I are so proud to represent women in small business at the federal level,” said Longmire. “Women have long contributed valuable resources to the rental industry and are finally being recognized for their achievements through initiatives such as the American Rental Association’s Women In Rental group. The timing couldn’t be better to achieve this designation and we’re pleased to work with existing and new clients in the rental technology field.”
