NAWBO-OC's 10th Annual
Remarkable Women Awards Luncheon

OCTOBER 14, 2005

Please join us as NAWBO members and 800+ associates and friends gather to honor five special award winners and 27 remarkable women from Orange County trade and professional organizations.

Our venue, the Hyatt Regency Irvine, can accommodate 850 guests, and we have sold out for the past three years. Our honorees are exceptional this year, as is our keynote speaker, Lisa Gersh Hall (left) who is being graciously provided by our Presenting Television Sponsor, Adelphia. Hall, based in New York, is the co-founder and president of Oxygen, the only women-owned and operated television network.

 

This 10th anniversary event, presented by NAWBO-OC and Farmers & Merchants Bank, is THE place for women business owners and professionals! Opportunities for recognition and exposure for your company are superb, and we invite you to step forward and take your place as event sponsor, wish list underwriter, table sponsor, souvenir program advertiser, gift bag donor AND/OR attendee at this tremendous event!
