THE COUNTDOWN TO NAWBO'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT IS ON!

The Strongest Voice and Supporter of U.S. Women Entrepreneurs Is Headed Back to DC—With Ashley Judd and Cynt Marshall as Keynotes—to Celebrate a Major Milestone

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest data shows that America's 14 million women entrepreneurs are a leading contributor to today's economy and have a strong outlook for the future. This optimism continues to fuel the National Association of Women Business Owners' (NAWBO®) mission to propel women entrepreneurs into economic, social and political spheres of power worldwide as it heads back to Washington, DC—where it was founded 50 years ago—to celebrate its milestone anniversary.

NAWBO's 50^th anniversary event will be held June 5-8, 2025 at DC's Omni Shoreham Hotel. It will bring together members and non-members—of all ages, sizes, stages and industries—as well as partners, supporters and international guests to celebrate 50 years of connections, education, leadership and bipartisan advocacy wins and set the stage for the future. The event includes Advocacy Day (June 5), Membership Meeting, Leader Onboarding & Afternoon Sessions (June 6) and the National Women's Business Conference & Awards Gala (June 7-8).

NAWBO is thrilled to announce two remarkable keynote speakers who will be headlining this year's conference: Actress and Social Justice Humanitarian Ashley Judd knows what it's like to want to make the world a better place and to use her voice to help make small yet meaningful changes that amount to significant change over time. She'll share what's possible when you use your voice for good. Also, Entrepreneur, Former Dallas Mavericks CEO and Author Cynthia "Cynt" Marshall will inspire with her visionary leadership and powerful story of achieving business results through inclusion and a relentless focus on people and operational excellence.

Other well-known industry experts will speak on topics like:
• Marketing to the next generation of buyers
• Selling on the world's largest online retail platform
• Unlocking financial capital for growth
• Maximizing tax deductions to minimize stress
• And much more!

"Once you come and meet NAWBO's members and partners and experience what a NAWBO national conference is like, you don't ever turn back," says NAWBO National Board Chair Dr. Janis Shinkawa. "Whether you are just starting your business, in the middle of it or thinking about your exit strategy, we have programming for every stage of every business."
