Past Presidents Advisory Alliance
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”
This quote perfectly describes NAWBO and its leadership. Our goal is to tap our past leaders and encourage them to share the knowledge with our future leaders—to show them the way! NAWBO’s Presidents Assembly has created the Past Presidents Advisory Alliance (PPAA) to engage and utilize your wisdom and energy.
We realize that the knowledge and talent you bring to NAWBO and its members is a valuable asset on both the national and local levels. In order to harness your energy, and regardless of the past year(s) you served as President of your chapter, the PPAA needs your assistance in becoming a part of the group of women that have “been there and done that in your chapter.”
At Public Policy Days and the Women’s Business Conference, the PPAA will host networking sessions and events for you to exchange ideas and build a strong and productive NAWBO.
Please complete an interest sheet indicating your areas of expertise and how you can help other chapter leaders. Chapter leaders across the country will benefit from your NAWBO knowledge and together we can know the way, go the way and show the way to NAWBO’s future leaders.
Return the interest sheet to Shawn Taylor Zelman at szelman@nawbo.org or by fax at 703-556-3260.
