NAWBO Advocacy Partners provide NAWBO with more opportunity to speak to decision makers on behalf of our members, and women business owners in general, on issues that are most important to women entrepreneurs today. These issues include health care, procurement opportunities, access to capital, fair and equitable tax treatment for small businesses and more.

Small Business Administration
Small Business Administration

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace. Although the SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, the SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States.

2020 Census

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with the U.S. Census Bureau to support the 2020 Census.

Census results are the basis for congressional representation and help determine how more than $675 billion in federal funds is distributed each year, to support vital programs in states and communities across the country. Through a robust data set, business owners can make better decisions about scaling their business into the next decade. As the 2020 Census approaches, we will continue to share information about how you can make sure our community is fully represented.
