💼 We enjoyed seeing women in all stages of their businesses gather together and learn alongside one another! Thanks for joining us.

✨ Our lovely panelists shared helpful insights on the pillars of a sellable business (transferability, value, exit options), the importance of aligning your goals (personal, financial, and business), and to build an advisory team (a wealth or financial advisor, personal attorney, CPA, exit advisor, a significant family member) and much more!

Help us thank Katheigh Degen (Twin Financial), Michelle Poston (Infinitas), and Katie Wasserstrom (Elevate Your Business). 👏 Explore their website links in the comments below.

We introduced our 2026-2027 Board of Directors: Anabeth McConnell (President), Christy Rogers (Immediate Past President), Becky Larason (Sponsorship), Michelle Decker (Membership), Barb Wright (Special Events), Alison Cady (Programming), Sandy Kessinger (Advocacy), and Stella Crewse (Treasurer).

We love our NAWBO KC members! ❤️
They are wonderful people.

The most successful women founders did not build their businesses alone.

They found rooms full of women who had already solved the problems they were facing.

Women who understood the particular weight of being underestimated, underfunded, and overextended, and who had built extraordinary companies anyway.

That is what NAWBO membership looks like.

When you join the National Association of Women Business Owners, you are not just joining a networking group.

You are joining a force.

A community of women who show up for each other in business, advocate alongside each other in policy, and hold the door open for every woman founder who comes after them.

The leading women in business are NAWBO members because excellence seeks community.

Because even the most accomplished entrepreneur needs a peer who gets it.

If you are building something and you are ready to be surrounded by women who are doing the same, NAWBO membership is where that starts.

Comment “MEMBER” to learn more.

✨ The conversations in the room tonight were meaningful and inspiring. Some women shared the excitement of launching a new chapter, while others met for the first time and connected through thoughtful conversation.

Community matters. As women business owners and entrepreneurs, we grow stronger when we have a place to learn, encourage one another, and build genuine relationships. Thank you to everyone who joined us. We loved meeting you! ❤️
