✨Introducing the 2026–2027 NAWBO Charlotte Board of Directors! ✨

A new year. A powerful group of women. One shared mission.

We’re excited to introduce the incredible women who will lead NAWBO Charlotte into our next chapter of connection, growth, advocacy and impact.

Under the leadership of President Carolina Marrelli, we’re stepping into this year with a theme that reflects exactly how we want women business owners across Charlotte to show up:

🌟SHINING SO BRIGHT, WE’RE IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. 🌟

This board brings together women with diverse experiences, businesses and perspectives, united by a commitment to empowering, supporting and elevating women business owners.

Here’s to bold leadership, meaningful connections and an incredible year ahead.
One mission. Powerful women. Stronger together.

Let’s give a warm NAWBO Charlotte welcome to Broyny Vitatoe!

Broyny is the Co-Founder of Work at Wheel, a wellness-infused coworking space in Rock Hill where professionals can work, move, and thrive.

After nearly two decades leading corporate wellness initiatives for Fortune 500 companies, Broyny brought that experience into a workspace built around one simple idea: people shouldn’t have to leave their wellbeing behind to do their best work.

Work at Wheel offers private offices, flexible coworking memberships, meeting and event spaces, professional development workshops, and wellness programming for entrepreneurs, remote professionals, startups, and growing businesses.

Desk bikes, treadmills, community events, and on-site massage bring movement, wellbeing, and connection into the workday.

We’re so glad to have Broyny as part of our chapter and can’t wait to see the perspective and energy she brings to our community.

Welcome, Broyny!
