"I've
been a member since the chapter was formed in 1990. From NAWBO
I have learned how to run a better and more profitable business.
The monthly programs have exposed me to ideas and solutions
that
I have utilized to change the way my company markets our
products, manages our internal processes, and finances and
trains our staff. I did not realize the extent of this experience
until my husband's company was in financial trouble and I was
able to provide direction and contacts to him that helped the
company survive."

Social Media vs. Social Networking - Are they the same?
Is social networking a revolution or a fad?
