Day two will be focused on Public Policy and we willeven invite our legislators for lunch! We want to be upclose and personal with them so we can develop a rela-tionship and be able to reach out on behalf of our chap-ters when we need to.

Finally, this Women’s Business Conference will keepNAWBO-CA’s four goals in mind that we set duringstrategic planning:

1. Public Policy: How can we expand our voice inSacramento to ensure that we are not only being heard,but also that we are changing public policy for Californiabusinesses?2. Membership: How can we support our chapter lead-

ers so they can easily grow their membership—and evendouble our membership in California?3. Doing Business: How can we not only encourage

NAWBO-CA members to do business with each other, butalso measure that impact?4. Education: How do we best deliver board training and

other education to our chapter leaders so they can feel pre-pared to handle the challenges they face? From there, howdo we expand our role in NAWBO-CA Education and addadditional programs that will have a solid impact on ourNAWBO-CA members’ business growth?

We invite you to join us for this powerful day! Pleasereach out to other women business owners who mightnot yet be members because we have a very special offerfor them.
