Dear NAWBO Sisters,
As we step into this new NAWBO year, I am filled with excitement and gratitude for the incredible community of women business owners that make up NAWBO Silicon Valley. Together, we represent courage, resilience, and innovation—qualities that not only sustain our businesses but also empower us to elevate one another.
This year is about more than just growing our businesses; it’s about thriving together. We are entering NAWBO’s 50th Anniversary, a historic milestone that reminds us of the trailblazers who came before us and the responsibility we hold to continue building pathways for women entrepreneurs. The more we connect, share resources, and celebrate each other’s wins, the stronger we become as a collective force.
I invite each of you to embrace this season as a time to step out of your comfort zone and into your next level of growth. Ask for help when you need it, share your expertise generously, and celebrate the victories—big and small—that fuel your journey. When we uplift one another, we create ripples of impact that reach far beyond our businesses and into our communities.
In addition, we are strengthening partnerships with our sisters at NAWBO San Francisco Bay Area, bridging our resources and voices to amplify the power of women in business across the region.
This year, let us stand boldly in collaboration, celebrate our successes, and hold one another accountable to our highest goals. If there is any group of women who can inspire, persevere, and thrive in these challenging times—it is us.
Here’s to a year of intentional growth, purposeful collaboration, and celebrating the unstoppable power of women entrepreneurs.
