Message from the President

The Future is Growth

I am truly honored and humbled to be elected as the NAWBO SFBA board president. It takes a Village to run a successful and growing business and as a business owner, a business leader, I think it is important for us to find ways to support other women and minority business owners in a world not known for its diversity.

My goal for NAWBO SFBA is to give back to our community as much as possible by leveraging existing training programs to get you better connected to capital and to education, and strengthening the diversity of the organizations brought to you for networking purposes and potential business opportunities. I believe any Person, Business, or Organization can be a must-force for good.
