Leadership Development Training

Spring 2016 NAWBO Leadership Development Training

June 15, 2016 –  Washington, D.C

Come comfortable and ready to connect with some of the most influential women in the country who are working towards the same goals as you.

This one action-packed day is designed for women business owners by women business owners, and we assure you – it is not just another meeting.

The day’s program focuses on specific feedback and requests from current Chapter Leaders: sharing best practices, learning the resources available from National, and training to make you a stronger leader in your local chapter and in your business.

All Chapter Leaders, board members, future board members and committee members are invited and encouraged to attend.

The new format for Leadership Development Day will happen 3 times a year. Once on the West Coast, once on the East Coast and once prior to the Women’s Business Conference. We hope this enables all leadership from chapters across the country to attend.

Join us for a day that will help you leverage the powerful legacy of NAWBO to create a bigger impact in your community.
