NAWBO is more than networking and a place to find a direct link to a revenue stream, it’s a place where we can build long lasting relationships that lead to better business and personal lives.
I joined NAWBO Silicon Valley in 2006 and I have been on various positions on the Board of Directors. I thought if I’m going to build a business I should know “how” to run a business and not just work in my business. I knew I was good at what I did, but without the prior it’s very hard to stay in business. What a surprise to discover a secret of business growth – (people do business with someone they like, know and trust) and then I got out of my own way. I introduced myself to members, I joined the Board of Directors, helped on Committees, attended the National Conference, attended NAWBO-CA Propel Your Business Conference, and collaborated with other like-minded organizations. The rest is history.
