The National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) represents the interests of more than 10.4 million women-owned firms in the United States, accounting for 28.2% of all business in the United States. If United States based women-owned businesses were their own country, they would have the 5th largest GDP in the world, trailing closely behind Germany, and ahead of countries including France, United Kingdom, and Italy!

 

With nearly 133,000 of these women-owned firms in Oklahoma, which generate $20 billion in sales and employ more than 176,000 people, the Central Oklahoma Chapter of NAWBO provides education, information, experience and networking opportunities to its women business owner members to help them grow their businesses.
