President's Message

"How fortunate are we?"

debbiIn the latest issue of Newsweek, the feature article was “Where women are winning”. All across the world women are now joining their male counterparts for positions in corporations to political offices. Some of those countries are still very behind in that process.

So how fortunate are we that we can take our creative and entrepreneurial spirit and make it work. In California alone women own just over 50% of all the new businesses that are opened.  NAWBO has been a helping hand in that process. By being part of the chapter, you have so many mentors and resources to access.

Make the most out of your membership, use the resources that are there. The best way is to get involved, join a committee or just volunteer at an event.

Make sure that you mark your calendars for the upcoming meetings.

See you all there!
