What if your next big connection happened while helping set up a name tag table?

Some of the best relationships in business are built in the most unexpected moments — and volunteering with NAWBO Charlotte puts you right in the middle of them.

Behind every successful NAWBO event is a team of women who showed up early, stayed late, and walked away with new friendships, fresh ideas, and a network that actually moves the needle.

That could be you.

✨ Step up, show up, and be part of something bigger than yourself.

Today, NAWBO Charlotte proudly joined women business owners from across the country on Capitol Hill alongside Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) to advocate for the issues shaping the future of entrepreneurship. 🇺🇸✨

As WIPP celebrates 25 years, we were honored to stand arm in arm with more than 200 women leaders sharing our stories, engaging with lawmakers, and championing policies that strengthen small businesses and local communities.

From access to capital and responsible AI to healthcare, energy, and opportunities for women-owned businesses, our voices matter.

Because advocacy isn’t just about policy. It’s about people. It’s about impact. It’s about ensuring women business owners are heard.

Tell your story. Be heard. Make an impact.
