On October 10th, NAWBO members and 800+ associates and friends will gather to honor our special award winners and remarkable women from 30 of Orange County's trade and professional organizations. Please plan to join us!

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 13th annual event, presented by NAWBO-OC, Farmers & Merchants Bank, and Farmers and Merchants Trust, will be the premiere event for women business owners and professionals in 2008! Opportunities for recognition and exposure for your company are superb, and many are stepping forward to take their place as event sponsors, wish list underwriters, table sponsors, souvenir program advertisers, and attendees at this tremendous event!

To find out more contact the NAWBO office at 714-630-2983.
