Message from the President of NAWBO Delaware
By Karen L. Miller 

 "...and the survey says..."
 
Thank you all for your input to the NAWBO member/audience survey! Your input helps make NAWBO Delaware better for us all.
 
One thing is clear, there are many organizations throughout the state that serve business women in Delaware, especially New Castle County. Each has its own unique mission and serves a specific niche audience. It makes sense to participate with more than one, most of you do. We are a collaborative group of organizations hoping to help you improve your business through the "Women in Partnership" initiative.
 
NAWBO, a non-profit professional organization, is the ONLY organization dedicated to women who are business owners, and part of a national organization which gives us strength in numbers, especially with regard to legislative and regulatory issues that affect how you do business; taxes, healthcare, licensing, and contracting, to name a few. As part of a national organization you have access to over 9000 other business owners, giving you a network of support, resources, customers and more.
 
Clearly you expect a lot from your membership and attendance at events. We are not just a networking group, though this is important to you. You said you wanted skills and tools to help you grow your business, through this year's programs and information sharing we plan to do just that.
 
I know you are all very busy trying to run your operations and grow your revenues, but the best way to get the most out of your time is to get involved. Our members who are engaged on the board and committees are the members to reap the most rewards. We still have a few chair opportunities available and most of our committees could use your help! Our marketing post is still open, as is President Elect and Corporate sponsorship. I can tell you first hand that serving on a committee has resulted in business improvement and growth for me, and I know my sisters on the board will say the same.
 
We look forward to seeing you soon!
