Chapter: NAWBO Orlando

Contact: Diane Sears, diane@di-vese-media.com

Goal: To bring together a large group of organizations and businesses that can help women business owners, NAWBO Orlando created the Share the Wealth Expo and Tradeshow.

Implementation: For seven years NAWBO Orlando has been hosting an event that showcases tabletop exhibits of organizations and businesses that help women business owners. The exhibitors range from media to banks to jewelry vendors. NAWBO Orlando also involves other local women's business groups to ensure that a wide audience is reached.

This year the chapter has sold seventy-five exhibit booths.

Results: NAWBO Orlando has found that their potential corporate partners love the Share the Wealth Expo and Tradeshow. Because of this event they have signed on several new partners. Also, over the years, this event has become known as one of the best cocktail parties of the year, bringing recognition to the chapter.
