    NAWBO’s strength comes from the diversity of its membership. We encompass all sizes of business, from those where the owner is the sole member to those with hundreds of employees. Many different industries are represented, from construction to importers, retailers to service providers. Women from every ethnicity and all over the country add to the mix. All appreciate the increased business opportunities and visibility that their membership affords, along with the supportive sharing of resources. NAWBO is a real force in the political arena, lobbying policymakers to address women’s concerns in the workplace.

    “Being a member of NAWBO Louisville has been one of the best things I have done for my business. The most important thing I found was that to get the most out of it you have to get involved. Being on the board of directors has given me great insight into the organization and the ability to meet and work with some great women. On the personal side, I have made some great friends who share being women entrepreneurs and that have been invaluable mentors in providing suggestions to grow my business. It is worth every minute!”
