NAWBO-OC's
11th Annual
Remarkable Women Awards Luncheon
Thursday,
October 12, 2006
11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at
the Hyatt Regency Hotel
in Irvine, CA
|
|
NAWBO members
and 800+ associates and friends gathered to honor our special
award winners and remarkable women from Orange County's
trade and professional organizations.
Women manage and own businesses, raise families, volunteer
their talents and time, run for office, and contribute to
the community in many other ways. Thousands of women participate
in more than one hundred women's professional and trade organizations
throughout Orange County. In 1996, to recognize the outstanding
members who contribute their time and talent to these associations
and to the community, NAWBO-OC established the Annual Remarkable
Women Awards Luncheon. Constituents from all over the county
gather together to honor their organization's Member of the
Year at this event. The goal is to create strong affiliations
among members and leaders of these organizations, and provide
them with valuable community exposure.
|
The 11th annual event, presented
by NAWBO-OC and Farmers & Merchants Bank, was be THE
premeir event for women business owners and professionals
in 2006! Opportunities for recognition and
exposure for your company were superb,

program
