Kimberly Snodgrass – Director of Certification, NAWBO
As Director of Certification for NAWBO, I am honored to support women-owned businesses through the NAWBO Institute Certification Program. Helping entrepreneurs obtain WBE/MWBE certification is a powerful way to advance inclusion, access, and opportunity. With a background in sales and account management, I have built my career on cultivating strong relationships and fostering collaboration. I believe every successful business interaction begins with trust and authenticity. Balance, positive energy, and freedom guide my approach to life. As a mother of two daughters, I am committed to empowering them — and all women — to embrace courage, creativity, and an entrepreneurial spirit. “One of my favorite quotes is, ‘A rising tide lifts all boats,’ because I truly believe in lifting others as we rise together.” Outside of NAWBO, I enjoy writing children’s books, studying aromatherapy, attending live theater, and finding moments that inspire laughter and joy.
