The Diversity of Membership

Aug 7, 2020

One of the beauties of being a NAWBO member is the diversity of its membership.  Not only is it a forum for business owners of varying industries and sizes to join together, but it also comprises members of all ages, colors and affiliations.  Thus, business owners who are required to work at home, especially those who are immune-compromised, are able to remain fully engaged in the business world and with networking opportunities through NAWBO.  While I have been blessed to continue my law practice in my office since I am an essential worker, other business owners have been relegated to their homes, which can get pretty lonely.  Through NAWBO, whether one chooses to work from home for health reasons, or decides to return to an office, one can keep up with fellow business owners on topics of importance to their business – that’s a great resource, especially these days!
