The NWBOC e-Newsletter is distributed by the National Women Business Owners Corporation (NWBOC). NWBOC created the first national certification program for women enterprises. NWBOC's certification program offers an alternative to the costly, time-consuming and duplicative agency-by-agency and corporation-by-corporation certification process.
