The NAWBO 2025 Advocacy Agenda embodies the ever-present need to represent all our members while creating the avenue and environment to build sustainable women-owned businesses. Statistics within the agenda and documents reflect findings from the 2025 NAWBO survey of more than 1,000 women business owners conducted nationwide. Member priorities, political landscape, and partnerships determine the order within the agenda.

As the new Administration is very busy, we shifted to a bimonthly call schedule in advance of our conference in June. You can get all the details on NAWBO's Advocacy strategy on our monthly calls slated for the first Thursday of the month at 11 a.m. PT/1 p.m. CT/2 p.m. ET and the third Tuesday of the month at 9 a.m. PT/11 a.m. CT/12 p.m. ET. Our next two meetings will be on March 6th and March 18th.
