Women Building Businesses by Fostering Community: The NAWBO Story.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text...

Ever wondered how the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) brings together a community of women entrepreneurs to support and inspire each other? Join me as I chat with Christina Dixon about NAWBO’s vibrant Sacramento chapter, a standout in California with its innovative initiatives. Discover how they're fostering the next generation of businesswomen through partnerships with schools and organizations like the Girl Scouts, creating a pipeline of future leaders ready to make their mark.

Christina and I explore the unique power of collaboration within NAWBO, a volunteer-driven organization fueled by the passion of its members. As we share stories of balancing roles within NAWBO, hear about the dedication that goes into leading such a dynamic community. From hosting the annual OWL Award Gala to nurturing partnerships with corporate giants, learn how NAWBO leverages relationships to uplift and celebrate outstanding women leaders. The organization provides members with a variety of educational, social, economic and political programs that support women in building successful ventures and making effective changes in business culture. 

Imagine the possibilities at the For Women by Women Capital Summit, where women entrepreneurs gain insights into non-traditional financing options. Christina and I discuss the organization's ambitious vision to offer expansive support, despite financial constraints, and the critical role of growing awareness and engagement. With a thriving board and an unwavering commitment to empowering women, NAWBO is poised to continue its legacy of championing women in business for generations to come.
