Chapter Benefits

Benefiting the membership and our businesses is a core value of the National Association of Women Business Owners – Memphis Chapter and is outlined in our mission statement.

NAWBO has over 80 chapters around the United States and international affiliations through Les Femmes Chefs d’Entreprises Mondiales (FCEM). Your network increases beyond Memphis’s border when you participate in events such as Public Policy Days in Sacramento and Washington DC and the NAWBO annual meeting and conference.

Contact our Programs Chair, Gwen Christensen, to learn more about specific events, committees, and opportunities available. Attend monthly meetings to connect with other businesswomen who might be potential clients, vendors, alliance partners, and resources.
