Text from Proclamation:
National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Houston Day
National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) is the voice of America’s 10.6 million women-owned businesses. Since 1975, NAWBO has helped women evolve their businesses by sharing resources and providing a single voice to shape economic and public policy. NAWBO is the only dues based national organization representing the interests of all women entrepreneurs across all industries.
National Association of Women Business Owners started as an informal meeting of women business owners in the Washington DC area who met to trade information about federal contracts, bank credit and other business issues. Every few weeks, more women began attending the group and it became clear that there was a great need for a formal organization devoted to helping women business owners so NAWBO was created.
On March 25, 2009, NAWBO Houston is hosting a ‘Get to Know NAWBO’ party. This party is open to the business community with the purpose of promoting the Women Owned Business community in Houston. The City of Houston salutes and commends NAWBO on this important occasion and extends best wishes to all for a successful and rewarding event.
Therefore, I , Bill White, Mayor of the City of Houston, hereby proclaim March 25, 2009 as
National Association of
Women Business Owners
(NAWBO) Houston Day
in Houston, Texas.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the Official Seal of the City of Houston to be affixed this 19th day of March 2009.
Bill White
Mayor of the City of Houston
