Continental Resources Announces Women Owned Enterprise Status

April 16, 2008 -

Bedford, MA-- Continental Resources announced its transition to a Women Owned Enterprise. This transition coincides with the election of a new CEO and changes to the Board of Directors.

 

As stated by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Section 19, Sub-part 2.101 (Women Owned Small Business), a Women Owned Enterprise must be at least 51% owned by one or more women. As a Women Owned Enterprise and small business, Continental Resources will be considered for special government contracts. In addition, Continental Resources’ status as a Women Owned Enterprise affords the company the opportunity to be a part of the purchasing practices and supplier diversity programs of major corporations throughout the country. “A number of our existing customers are required to maintain such practices,” said Mary Nardella, CEO. “This provides us with an immediate roadmap to increased revenues with existing customers, a key ingredient for our growth during the coming year.”

 

In December 2007, Jim McCann Sr., founder, Chairman, and previous CEO, retired from the day-to-day activities of running Continental Resources. While he remains Chairman of the Board, Mary Nardella was elected Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors. Mary brings over 20 years of experience at Continental Resources to her new position. Please see Continental Resources Women Owned Business and Small Business Certification Statement .
