Bill > S1898

This resolution recognizes April 23, 2025, as "National Association of Women Business Owners Day" in Florida, honoring the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), a professional organization founded in 1975 that has played a significant role in supporting women entrepreneurs. The resolution highlights NAWBO's key achievements, including its involvement in the 1988 Women's Business Ownership Act, which allowed women to receive business loans without a male cosigner, and its creation of strategic alliances to promote women's economic empowerment. The organization has grown to include chapters in 60 countries, with three chapters in Florida (South Florida, Orlando, and Greater Tampa Lakeland), and has been instrumental in advocating for women-owned small businesses to receive fair procurement opportunities at state and federal levels. The resolution specifically commemorates NAWBO's upcoming 50th anniversary and the organization's efforts to strengthen women's economic, social, and political influence in the business world.
