Dear NAWBO Members and Friends, When I first became a member of NAWBO almost 13 years ago, I was a new business owner, looking for a place to meet with and learn from other entrepreneurs. Looking back, I was probably hoping to find a mentor or two in the process. I've certainly received more than I bargained for. Over the years, I've received moral support, found wonderful service providers, made [...]
