Present or Host
NAWBO Iowa has 3 monthly events, each with a slightly different platform and purpose.
COFFEE & CONVERSATION
Coffee & Conversation events are open to all, offer time for members to present their business to the others if desired, and therefore a chance for members to gain a little deeper knowledge of one of the other members. Coffees are held monthly in the mornings on the 2nd Tuesday each month. No cost to attend.
WOMEN, WINE & WISDOM
Women, Wine & Wisdom events are open to all and have networking opportunities for members, partners and guests. WWW events are held monthly at the end of the work day on the last Thursday of each month. No cost to attend.

NAWBO Iowa’s mission is to propel women entrepreneurs into economic, social and political spheres of power statewide by: strengthening the wealth-creating capacity of our members and promoting economic development within the entrepreneurial community, creating innovative and effective change in the business culture, building strategic alliances, coalitions and affiliations, and transforming public policy and influencing opinion makers.
NAWBO Iowa believes that providing quality programming is an essential part of our mission. Our goal is to present topics that appeal to current members as well as to Women Business Owners (WBO) in our communities in effort to attract new members.
NAWBO Iowa understands Women Business Owners have many unique and specific needs. In order to better address those needs, we conducted a survey of our members to learn of the pressing issues and challenges they face.
As a result, the following topics have become our TOP programming priorities:
- Employee: Staffing, Recruiting, Retention, Reviews, Delegation, Motivation, Engagement, HR and Contract Employees
- Business Development: Prospecting, Increasing Sales, Sales Skills, Retention, Selling to Younger Audiences, Business Growth, Key Relationships, Advocates, and Overcoming Rejection
- Time Management: Prioritizing, Organizing, Focus, Efficiency Tools, Capacity, Balance
- Marketing: Strategies, Branding, Digital & Social Media, Relationship Based Selling
- Business Acumen: Financing & Accounting, Budgeting, Profit Margins, Cash Flow, Securing Capital, Accurate Pricing and Pricing Confidence, Stages of a Business
- Other Topics: New Trends and Tips, Regulation and Reform, What Should I Know that I Don’t
- Leadership: Being Inspired, Demonstrating Confidence
NAWABO Iowa educational events are designed, planned and presented as lunch hour events either in person or virtual. If you or someone you know would be qualified to present on any of the above topics we ask you complete the “Educational Program Presenter Form” attached.
