No busy entrepreneur is willing to commit her precious time and financial resources to an undertaking unless she perceives that the value to her is at least as great as what she gives up. Thousands of women business owners nationwide have seen the value in their NAWBO memberships. That value may be measured in terms of opportunities for business development, networking, leadership roles, or comparing notes with peers. Some find that the value lies in the timeliness and applicability of the monthly dinner meeting programs and the quality of the educational seminars. Others find enrichment from their involvement in scholarship awards, public policy issues, or outreach to build the diversity of the membership.
