As the nation begins a new chapter, NAWRB is here in Washington, D.C. to continue our work with additional leaders and partnerships in women’s gender equality during this historic time.
NAWRB has valued working alongside the Small Business Administration (SBA), National Women’s Business Council (NWBC), White House Council on Women and Girls, and other leaders in the women’s movement for gender equality. We recognize the importance of our relationships with these entities and although the professionals at the helm of these organizations may change, NAWRB’s mission to collaborate with them to create a better future for women in the housing ecosystem unwaveringly continues.
Today the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) issued a release inviting funding proposals from state, local and tribal government agencies, institutions of higher learning and non-profit organizations to “provide ‘Boots to Business’ entrepreneurship training to service members, military spouses, and veterans.”
The SBA’s Office of Veterans Business Development (OVBD) is hosting the competition, which will allow the SBA to administer the global Boots to Business program. Providing “entrepreneurial education and training to military service members and spouses,” the program consists of an Introduction to Entrepreneurship two-day classroom course and a Foundations of Entrepreneurship eight-week, instructor led online course.
In 2016, we moved the needle in the right direction in the women’s movement for gender equality. As we start 2017, NAWRB continues our mission by showcasing the power, value and importance of women and women-owned businesses in the housing ecosystem.
