Advocacy
Who We Are
NAWBO Southern Nevada chapter’s Advocacy committee endorses and advocates legislation for women-owned businesses based on the criteria set forth by our NAWBO National headquarters, that states:
To best represent the diversity within our membership, all the business advocacy issues we engage in are bipartisan in nature. In order to receive support from NAWBO National, a piece of legislation must have support from both Democrats and Republicans, which means members of both parties serve as sponsors and/or original co-sponsors.
