Power Friday--your weekly NAWBO Greater Philadelphia connection to education and networking!
NAWBO Advocacy - Power Your NAWBO Voice
Presented by Mikaele Racine, Chair of Advocacy Committee
NAWBO was founded in 1975 to be the first advocacy organization for all women business owners. NAWBO was instrumental in the approval of HR 5050 in 1988 that acknowledged the importance of female owned businesses and removed barriers to funding for women business owners. NAWBO advocates on behalf of women business owners, regardless of political affiliation, encouraging and supporting bipartisan legislation focused on building and strengthening a sustainable business economy. NAWBO's bipartisan approach guarantees us a seat at the table, regardless of the current political trends, assuring that decision-makers on both sides of the aisle hear the women-owned business voice.
Come and learn about the NAWBO Advocacy Agenda and this year’s Advocacy Days on June 6 and 7, 2023. This year’s Advocacy Days will focus on 4 core policy areas.
- Addressing the Needs of the "Microbusiness" and Encouraging Emerging Entrepreneurs
- Hiring Squeeze
- Implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act: Broadband Expansion
- Accessing Capital through Increased Financial Literacy Education
Raise your voice in support of women's economic growth and entrepreneurship!
