Message From Our President June 2025

Jun 3, 2025

As I wrap up my term as President of NAWBO Chicago, I’m filled with gratitude. Serving this chapter—this incredible sisterhood of trailblazing women—has been one of the greatest honors of my professional life.

It’s been a joy to walk alongside so many of you as you’ve stepped more fully into your roles as visionary leaders, bold strategists and financially confident CEOs. You’ve inspired me daily with your courage, grit and generosity.

Our NAWBO Chicago community is not only strong—it’s rooted in tradition. In a few days, we’ll celebrate 50 years of NAWBO in Washington, D.C., and I’m proud to say the Chicago chapter has been part of that story for 42 of those years. We’ve long been pioneers for women business owners, and that legacy continues with each of you.

My wish for each of you is confidence. Confidence in your personal growth, your business strategy and your financial story. Let those pillars guide you into your next big milestone.

Together, we’ve built momentum—and the future is bright. Thank you for allowing me to lead. I’ll always be cheering you on.

With deep respect and sisterhood,

Angie Noll
NAWBO Chicago President
Founder of Reconciled Solutions
