Amplify Our Voice Through Advocacy
This committee educates members on NAWBO’s public policy priorities, coordinates legislative visits on behalf of the Chapter, and fosters relationships with local and regional policymakers. The goal is to ensure our members’ voices are heard and represented on issues that impact women business owners.
