We Want To See You & Celebrate Women's History Month
NAWBO Atlanta is thrilled to announce the planning of an in-person chapter event in honor of Women's History Month! Save the date of March 22 from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. We encourage members to bring a friend. More details will be shared as they become available.
Make A Coffee Connection and Support Other Members
Many of our members haven’t been able to meet in person for months on end, and we’re really missing you all!

With warmer weather on the horizon, it’s time AT LAST for us to get back together and get back out there. Thus, we encourage you to encourage others to join with you and sign up for a Coffee Connection. Support each other and your businesses by finally reconnecting with fellow women business owners. 

Email us at info@nawboatlanta.org to engage and network with other NAWBO Atlanta members. As registrations come in, we will pair you up and connect you together so that you can make a date for coffee and conversation.
