“Where We Are Now”

The NAWBO DFW Chapter is celebrating 25 years of the entrepreneurial spirit of women in the Metroplex!  Our three-part anniversary celebration commenced with our June Gala entitled, “Where we have Been,” in which past Chapter presidents reunited to share the legacy of our DFW Chapter and how it has made a significant impact in women owned businesses in our community.  These leaders were activists who took chances, changed the perception of traditional women’s roles and created change in public policies on a National level.

The second part of the series will focus on how NAWBO continues to be relevant today and continues to tell the stories of successful women entrepreneurs, discuss the current economic conditions affecting women owned business and how our work is not complete.

Our special speaker is Terri F. Maxwell, President and CEO of Succeed on Purpose. She will speak on “The Top 3 Mistakes Business Owners Make That Keep Them from Financial Freedom.”
