Comment MEMBER below and we’ll send you the details. 👇

Most networking ends with a card swap and a follow-up email nobody answers.

At NAWBO, members keep seeing the same faces. You meet at your local chapter (there are 46 across the country), in small-group virtual programs like NetWORK It! and Empower Hour, and in monthly calls with women business owners nationwide.

That’s how a contact turns into a referral, a partner or the person you call when a deal gets complicated.

The Fall Membership Campaign ends October 31. Join before then and save $75 on the initiation fee.

You’ve done the mixers. Thirty business cards in your bag and not one conversation you’d want to pick back up.

NetWORK It! is a 60-minute virtual session from NAWBO.

You’ll meet other women business owners in small groups, introduce yourself and your business and dig into one featured question built to get a real conversation going.

You don’t have to be a member. You’re welcome to try up to two sessions before you decide to join.

This month’s session is Tuesday, October 13 at 9 AM PT

Comment FLUENCY below and we’ll send you the details. 👇

You’ve asked AI to draft an email at 11 PM and then wondered if you could trust what came back.

When NAWBO surveyed its members, more than half said they already use AI. What they asked for most was practical training to use it with confidence.

AI Fluency Foundations is NAWBO’s answer.

It’s an eight-session live virtual program with XPROMOS, with instructor-led hands-on assignments and role-based exercises in a small cohort.

The focus is on skills and judgment that keep working as the tools change.

The second cohort starts Monday, October 19. Just 19 spots are open, and NAWBO members get an exclusive discounted rate.

Comment MIAMI below and we’ll send you the details. 👇

You’ve outgrown the conference where you’re one name badge among thousands.

On the Rise: Miami Edition is the 2026 summit from NAWBO.

It’s kept small on purpose, so you leave knowing people instead of holding a stack of business cards.

Thursday is a full day at the Woman’s Club of Coconut Grove.

It opens with a keynote from Jennifer R. Hudson, founder of ThinkBeyond Public Relations, on why your voice is an economic force.

On Friday you’ll explore the women-owned shops, cafés and artisan spaces of Little Havana with the women you met the day before.

General admission is $295. A VIP yacht dinner is available for a smaller group.

Space is limited.
