Founded in 1975, the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) members represent more than 12 million women business owners across America. Our members are diverse in many ways, including the size of their business, the sectors, and communities they serve, the stage of business development, their race, ethnicity, geographic business areas, and political leanings that determine policy views. The NAWBO 2023 Advocacy Agenda embodies the ever-present need to represent all of our members while creating both the avenue and environment to build sustainable women-owned businesses:

Addressing the Needs of the “Microbusiness” and Encouraging Emerging Entrepreneurs
Workforce
Accessing Capital through Increased Financial Education and Digital Tools
Caring for the Business Owner and Caregiving Flexibilities for the Employee
