NAWBO’s Spring 2016 Leadership Development Training is headed to Washington, D.C., on June 15, 2016 (following NAWBO Advocacy Day in D.C. on June 14).
Come comfortable and ready to connect with some of the most influential women in the country who are working toward 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 NAWBO 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. Also, anyone interested in leadership development is welcome.
Leadership Development Training takes place three 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. REGISTER HERE
