What is your favorite NAWBO Chicago event and why?

My favorite NAWBO Chicago event is the annual Women Mean Business® conference. I learned so much last
year and am looking forward to the presentations of my colleagues at next year’s conference. I am inspired by the women around me as they break down barriers meant to hold women back.

How do you recommend members make the most of their NAWBO Chicago membership?

I recommend making the most of your NAWBO Chicago membership by joining a committee, but most of all joining a mastermind group. My mastermind group is really something that I look forward to every month. These women hold me accountable for getting my goals accomplished, setting goals that are difficult to attain, but leading me in a step-by-step direction towards reaching these hard goals and cheering me on as I get there!
