Five Percent Procurement Goal
View a listing of the original senators and representatives who voted in favor of the law dictating a five percent procurement goal for women owned businesses.

The Public Policy Forum's Procurement Working Group plans to establish a formal initiative of pressure on those still in office who voted for the act. The group also hopes to gain support from new office holders. 

You can help by letting your senator or representative know we expect this law to be upheld!

Public Policy Curriculum Now Available
For guidance on discussing public policy and the importance of advocacy with your chapter and other women business owners, use the new Public Policy Curriculum. These materials provide information about NAWBO's advocacy platform and share advice on how to become active in local and national policy. Each module includes a facilitator's guide and a manual for participants.
