BRYAN, Texas, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Neutral Posture Ergonomics, Inc.
(Nasdaq: NTRL), today announced the appointment of its Chief Executive
Officer, Rebecca Boenigk, to the Women's Input Committee (WIC) of the Women's
Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). This committee meets to
recognize and resolve the needs and challenges of women business owners
nationwide. Another objective of the committee is to facilitate corporate and
supplier business opportunities for the members served by WBENC.
Mrs. Boenigk was nominated to the Committee by Glen Mayer, Corporate
Supplier Diversity Manager of United Parcel Service (UPS) in Atlanta, GA.
Mr. Mayer stated, "Mrs. Boenigk will be an asset to this committee. She has
built a company that provides a superior product with outstanding service.
Neutral Posture supplied UPS with 7000 chairs during our corporate relocation
to Atlanta. I would recommend NPE to any Fortune 500 company without
hesitation."
The leadership committee is comprised of women business owners across the
country achieving significant recognition within their industry and local
business community. As a member of the committee, Mrs. Boenigk will provide
the Council and its Board of Directors with practical insight and policy
recommendations to facilitate the development of programs to enhance growth
opportunities for women business owners. Mrs. Boenigk stated that, "I am
enthusiastic about working with the members of this committee, and look
forward to sharing my experiences with other business women and the
corporations that support them. These corporations realize that doing
business with minority business enterprises (MBE) or women business
enterprises (WBE) makes good business sense as they are the fastest growing
segment of industry today."
Neutral Posture Ergonomics, Inc. (NPE) originated in 1989 through the
mother-daughter team of Jaye Congleton and Rebecca Congleton Boenigk. The two
raised capital, started the Company working out of Mrs. Boenigk's garage, and
concentrated on small contracts to develop their market. NPE is now a multi-
million dollar, publicly traded business. NPE is nationally certified by
WBENC through the Houston Women's Business Council in Houston, Texas.

minority and woman-owned businesses and contributes to a scholarship fund. As
a certified WBE, the Company is eligible for diversity programs within major
corporations and is currently registered as a woman-owned business with over
one hundred companies nationwide. To maintain its commitment to leadership,
quality and innovation, NPE seeks minority and women-owned suppliers/vendors
with these same standards.
