About NAWBO-LA
Founded in 1975, the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO)
is the voice of America’s 10.6 million women-owned businesses and is the
only dues-based national organization representing the interests of all women
entrepreneurs across all industries. Today the organization features chapters
in almost every metropolitan area in the United States and is represented in
33 countries across the world through its affiliation with Les Femmes Chefs
d'Enterprises Mondiales (World Association of Women Entrepreneurs).
The National Association of Women Business Owners – Los Angeles
(NAWBO-LA) is one of the organization's leading and innovative chapters
since its beginnings in 1979. The mission of NAWBO-LA is to propel women entrepreneurs
into economic, social and political spheres of power by: strengthening
the wealth creating capacity of our members and promoting economic development
within the entrepreneurial community; creating
innovative and effective changes in the business culture; building
strategic alliances, coalitions and affiliations; and transforming
public policy and influencing opinion makers.
Founded in 2000, the Enterprise Institute of NAWBO-LA is a
501(c)3 tax exempt charitable organization dedicated to accelerating initiatives
and research that promote the entrepreneurship of women worldwide. We accomplish
this by supporting initiatives that propel women entrepreneurs into positions
of leadership and power;
disseminating knowledge and building entrepreneurial capacity through research
and education; and working with the community to build
a legacy for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Together, NAWBO-LA and the Enterprise Institute work closely
to ensure that women business owners are recognized as a public policy voice
to be reckoned with, a formidable economic force, and as effective agents for
change in the dynamic business environment that is Southern California.
