Latest News/Upcoming Events

RESCHEDULED FOR SPRING 2021

Due to the ongoing concerns regarding COVID-19 and following guidance from our State and Local Government, NAWBO-Indianapolis has made the necessary decision to postpone our Trailblazers event until the Spring of 2021. The safety of our Members, Corporate Partners and Guests is of the utmost importance and we feel this is a necessary decision at this time. Stay tuned for the announcement of the new date after the first of the year. If you purchased a ticket for the event, refunds are being processed.

Never been? Or it’s been awhile? Now is your time to experience the National Women’s Business Conference September 21st-23rd. Our 2020 conference is fully virtual based on post-pandemic recommendations regarding large gatherings, so you can save on airfare, lodging and even registration (it’s less this year at $195 for members/$250 for non-members!) and still reap all the rewards…just from home!

Are you ready for a change of pace?

We’ve missed getting together, so for those who are up for an outing, we are having our luncheon in person at the Oceanaire Seafood Room. The restaurant will only be open for this NAWBO-Indianapolis event and we will practice social distancing.

There will be no formal program, just catching up with members and corporate partners and hearing from new members who have joined in the past few months.

Space is limited so register early!

We look forward to seeing you in August.
