The history of NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) is rooted in public policy. The goal, exclaimed NAWBO’S Founding President Susan Hager, was to “Get a seat at the table or build our own table, and make sure to include other women.” NAWBO members helped draft and were instrumental in the passage of the 1988 (U.S.) Women’s Business Ownership Act (H.R. 5050) which prohibited discrimination against women in obtaining business credit without male co-signors. More recent, NAWBO successes include sponsoring CA SB 826 to ensure women have a seat at the table on corporate boards. Engage with Senator Limón, and this esteemed panel of experts to learn more about current legislative measures and the importance businesswomen contribute during these historic times.
