NAWBO San Diego’s Role

As the voice of women business owners (WBO) in San Diego County, NAWBO San Diego is committed to keeping its members informed about relevant local, state, and national issues.

The issues we follow and support impact women owned businesses’ ability to expand, increase income, hire employees, obtain financing, pursue small business/minority owned business government contracting opportunities, healthcare, business impacting legislation, regulations and taxes.

We are non-partisan, only supporting sound business-related issues and legislation that benefits all small business owners and their families.

As a non-partisan national organization, NAWBO has focused on public policy issues of national and statewide interest impacting women entrepreneurs and small businesses since 1975. READ MORE
