Connect With NAWBO &
Strengthen Your Business
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) portal will re-open to ALL lenders for 1st and 2nd draw loan applications today - Tuesday, January 19th!

NAWBO National shares this information:
SBA wants us to stress two main points to NAWBO members:
  • There will be enough money. Don’t worry.
  • The process will take longer this time because they are verifying businesses more thoroughly on the front-end to prevent fraud. (The business will submit forms to lender, the lender will send them to SBA, SBA will have them for a length of time before they are sent back to the lender with a loan number.) Please be patient with the timeframe.  

Here are links to the applications:

Community Connects
Every Wednesday at 5 pm ET!

Experience meeting other women business owners across the nation! Grab your favorite beverage and join us by video (so we can see each other just like we would in an in-person meeting)! We’ll connect, share best practices and support one another in an interactive format.

This is what you can expect:
Each week, we will spend the first 10 minutes with introductions from new members that have joined us for the first time. We will spend the next 50 minutes using the breakout room feature to help facilitate stronger connections in smaller groups. Experience the sisterhood of NAWBO!
