The voice of women business owners is stronger than ever in the Greater Tucson area. While NAWBO has historically had a presence in this Arizona community with as many as 300 members, several entrepreneurial women with vision re-imagined it in June of 2019 as a “Powered by HQ chapter” backed by the strength and resources of the national organization. This founding board, including Lea Marquez Peterson, Rhonda Peoples, Cindy Sheller, Lisa Nutt and Wanda Baader, are now working to deliver connections, education and inspiration to a growing number of local women business owners to propel them as they scale and grow.
