Membership is open to sole proprietors, partners and corporate owners with day-to-day management responsibility.
The National Association of Women Business Owners propels women entrepreneurs into economic, social, and political spheres of power worldwide.
NAWBO is an organization that works to:
STRENGTHEN the wealth-creating capacity of our members and promote economic development

Creating Connectivity; Helping Women Owned Businesses Succeed
Minnesota NAWBO offers great events and networking opportunities. In addition, Minnesota NAWBO created the MasterMind™ program. We pride ourselves on being a key resource and tool for our members.
An Advisory Board Program for Women Leading Businesses
Every day woman business owners confront tough issues that determine the direction and success of their businesses. Whether the challenge happens to be growth, stabilizing operations, or developing an exit plan--you will face employment issues, revenue and financial concerns, customer satisfaction dilemmas and questions about how to best market your products and services.
Answers to these questions often require tough objectivity and experience beyond our own. MasterMind™ provides program members with an ad hoc advisory board of CEOs who meet monthly and share business know-how, feedback and insight from their own experience as entrepreneurs in a confidential setting.
