Chapter Events

NAWBO’s annual Leadership Academy is for current NAWBO members who are not only busy running their own businesses, but many are also in leadership positions in local NAWBO chapters. The event—virtual in 2021—brings them together to advance their personal, business and chapter leadership in an intimate atmosphere where they learn from a leadership general session as well as two tracks of programming to choose from: one with tools and resources for chapter leaders and another with professional and personal leadership skills training for all our members.

NAWBO’s annual Advocacy Day provides NAWBO leaders and members with the opportunity to weigh in on the issues impacting their businesses and make sure their voices are heard with key decision makers in Washington, D.C. They’ll walk the steps of Capitol Hill and hear from key legislative influencers and decision makers. They’ll have powerful conversations around issues that matter most to women-owned and small businesses. Leading up to this event, participants will also have the opportunity to participate in training that will empower them with the tools and information they need to maximize their experience.

Every entrepreneurial journey starts with a dream. To create something new, better or more meaningful. To be your own boss and leader. To enjoy a more flexible lifestyle. To leave a legacy for the next generation. To give back to a community. To change the world in positive ways. Whatever your dream as a woman business owner, NAWBO is here to power it by delivering a uniquely fun and impactful experience infused with connectivity, inspiration, learning, resources and more.
