It’s hard to believe it has almost been a year since I stepped into this position of NAWBO® President and CEO. In fact, it was at last year’s NAWBO® Women’s Business Conference (WBC) that I was first formally introduced to the NAWBO® community of leaders, members, sponsors and more.

May Celebrates Main Street America

Of the more than 6,000 women business owners that create our NAWBO® membership, 90 percent are small business owners, too. They are part of Main Street America that is 27.5 million small businesses strong. Together, these small businesses employ half of all U.S. workers, have created 65 percent of all new jobs in our country over the past 17 years and are poised to create the majority of new jobs and economic growth needed in the U.S.

One of the many benefits of representing the voice of women business owners is having the opportunity to connect and interact with some pretty amazing people. In late March, I was invited to a Women’s History Month reception at Vice President Joe Biden’s home.
