It's that time of year again, Workerettes! Time for the NAWBO Women's Business Conference. Get ready to get yer networking on, gals.
The conference will take place June 12 - 14 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa (reason enough to go just for that!) in Phoenix, AZ. The theme is "Together: Rising". The focus is on women business owners who are creating "a rising tide of entrepreneurship" and defining "new standards of ownership and prosperity" while "changing the social, political, and economic landscape forever."
