President's Message

At no other time in history has the number of women in the workforce been so high. Breathe that in. You are counted! I am counted! And many of our NAWBO entrepreneurs employ women. Together, we are making history.

From coast to coast, there's a tremendous focus on support for women. West Coast - our S
B 826 powers along, bringing more and more qualified women executives to the Board rooms of California. 
East Coast - the White House launched the Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative to increase women's global labor force participation.

It's the best time to be brave, bold and benevolent. If you are looking to be brave and bold in building your company, NAWBO CA can connect you with our sponsors like Bank of America and Union Bank- organizations focusing energy on funding women-owned.

And if you're feeling benevolent, be a woman-supporting-women and join us in LA at the SheAngels Season 1 Premiere on March 31. A truly special night celebrating women start-ups and those seeking support for next-stage growth. 

One more important item, PROPEL 2019 is filling up fast - likely to sell out this year with the dynamic and interesting line up of hands-on speakers and sponsors. Hilary Lentini, Summer Sepulveda and their Propel Committee are seriously remarkable. You are sure to grow when you're surrounded by other successful WBOs! 
 
Feeling fortunate, 
Mindy Bortness
NAWBO-CA President
