Exit Planning: What Business Owners Need to Know

October 27 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT

Different Businesses. Different Journeys. A Shared Place to Grow.

No two business owners arrive at the same place by the same path. Some are building their first companies. Others are managing employees, expanding into new markets, planning succession, or redefining what success looks like.

NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara brings those experiences together. Since 1994, our chapter has connected women business owners across industries, generations, and stages of growth through meaningful relationships, professional development, and advocacy.

You don’t need to have every answer. You don’t need to be at a particular revenue milestone. You simply need to be interested in what becomes possible when women business owners come together.

Be part of a collective voice advocating for policies and opportunities that strengthen women-owned businesses locally and nationally. Through NAWBO’s advocacy efforts, connect with issues that affect your business, contribute your perspective, and support meaningful change for women entrepreneurs.

Take an active role in shaping the future of NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara through committee involvement, chapter leadership, mentoring, and community engagement. Share your expertise, contribute new ideas, and create opportunities that strengthen our chapter and the broader community of women business owners.
