When I joined NJAWBO, I was a fledgling business owner with ideas, hopes, dreams with more questions than answers.  I wanted to meet women business owners who knew more than I did, who had successes and failures they were willing to share to help me grow.  There had to be a group that’d encourage me and support me when miracles didn’t happen just because I wanted them to.  I found that group.  It is NJAWBO - a terrific organization of woman owned small, medium and large businesses. 

I stay because:

I was welcomed though I couldn’t give suggestions on how others could grow their business.

I met terrific women who, like me, were new to business and others who had years of experience behind them.  We all have years of experience in front of us.

They helped me understand what was involved in growing my business

They gave me good suggestions to digest and try to pursue

I stay because it's a terrific organization

I look forward to meeting you and talking with you at events.
