March's Coffee & Conversation To Focus On The Chapter
The NAWBO Atlanta chapter is currently at a pivotal moment. We are in a position for growth that will allow members to level up their personal and professional connections. But to maximize our potential as a prosperous group of women entrepreneurs and business owners, we need YOU.

Join the chapter at an upcoming opportunity to re-launch and reinvigorate NAWBO Atlanta. A special "Coffee & Conversation" will take place on March 16 at 10:00 am ET at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, 300 Galleria Parkway, Suite 1800, Atlanta.

Members, former members and guests are welcome to attend. The more voices, the better! This is an opportunity to share your comments on how to strengthen the chapter. Bring your ideas for upcoming events and programs based on topics YOU want to expand your knowledge on, because others would probably be interested, too. NAWBO National representatives will attend to answer questions.

The chapter wants to hear from you! The next phase of NAWBO Atlanta is in your hands. We are focused on taking the chapter to the next level and need you by our side. We are stronger together. Will you join us?
