About NAWBO CCC
Our chapter started in 2015 in San Luis Obispo (SLO), California; a charming coastal town known for its beautiful natural surroundings, historic architecture, and vibrant community. Situated near sandy beaches and rolling hills. We are 190 miles North of Los Angeles, and about 230 miles South of San Francisco.
SLO County is famous for its welcoming atmosphere and laid-back lifestyle. Beach life, foodies, artisan shopping, and wine lovers always get an authentic California experience.
Our monthly Business Brilliance Program is on the first Friday of the month at the famous Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.
