Adrienne Moch is the current President of the National Organization of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and spent some time sharing about NAWBO.

Time is a precious commodity to all women business owners, so it’s important to make prudent decisions about which organizations to join…keeping your focus on the value of the investment versus what you gain from membership. With that thought in mind, I invite all San Diego women business owners to investigate joining NAWBO as an excellent way to establish contacts with fellow female entrepreneurs and gain access to superb resources that will help you grow your business.

NAWBO is not a networking group; it’s much more than that. While widening your network will often result in enhanced business opportunities, the benefits of being a NAWBO member are much more far-reaching. By developing relationships and getting to know one another on professional and personal levels, we establish bonds of trust that enable us to learn from one another and be active partners in each others’ business success.

The Business Women’s Mega Mixer will benefit the Women’s History Museum here in San Diego.

But with the economic depression of the 1930s which hit on both sides of the Atlantic, and then World War II, women’s rights went out of fashion. In the 1950s and 1960s, after Betty Friedan pointed to the “problem that has no name” — the boredom and isolation of the middle-class housewife who often gave up intellectual and professional aspirations — the women’s movement began to revive. With “women’s liberation” in the 1960s, interest in women’s issues and women’s history blossomed. Read the entire article at About.com.
