Greetings NAWBO Philadelphia! I cannot believe that the first year of my two year term is now complete! It has been a fantastic year. I absolutely LOVE this organization and I feel it is absolute privilege to belong to it. It has been a pleasure to facilitate the Semi Circle Masterminds, and to meet many of you through the course of the year at our different programs. I was able to attend the WBC in Spokane in September and then also to attend the Leadership Development Training in Scottsdale in January. Two weeks ago I was able to attend the NAWBO National Advocacy Day - NAWBO's Annual Day on Capitol Hill and it was amazing!! I strongly urge those of you who have never attended to try to make plans to attend in June of 2020.
We have a wonderful Board here in Philadelphia and the National Board is also fabulous. We are all servant leaders and we work hard to serve the Women Business Owners whom we represent. I wanted to take this time to give a BIG THANK YOU to the NAWBO Philadelphia Chapter Board and Committee members for your dedication and hard work.
NAWBO Philadelphia has a 501c3 arm and that is the NAWBO Philadelphia Center for Advancing Entrepreneurs (lovingly known as The Center). Michele Schina is president of The Center. We have worked hard and jointly this year to unify the voice of NAWBO Philadelphia. It is my pleasure to announce that Michele is serving on the 2019-2020 NAWBO National Board as Chair of the President's Assembly Steering Committee. So, we now have a local voice at National. We are so fortunate here in NAWBO Philadelphia to have awesome representation on the National Board!
The 2019 NAWBO National Women’s Business Conference is October 13-15 in Jacksonville, Florida. I encourage ALL of you if you can make the trip to seriously consider joining us in Jacksonville. Please let me know if you want more information about attending the WBC.
I hope to see many of you at our Summer Soiree on July 17th (Attico Rooftop, 5-7PM).
I will leave you with one of my favorite parts of the NAWBO Creed: “We will propel all women business owners to their next level of success”
