“We are experiencing one of the most challenging economies in business history,” says Audrey Taylor. “The NAWBO Women’s Business Conference offered a unique opportunity for business women from different backgrounds and interests to embrace a common goal—to strengthen friendships, share invaluable information and further strengthen their entrepreneurial interests. I am already anticipating next year’s conference with great excitement!”
