Last year, the local chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners organized an entrepreneurship conference for high school girls. The young women came dressed in their most business-y attire and were given the chance to talk to mentors and learn about the opportunities and challenges of business ownership.
Last month, we decided to dissolve the NAWBO chapter (for a variety of reasons) and instead form an informal group whose sole project is putting on this conference each year. The Web site is up, thanks to Harvey McLendon (incidentally, our new Technology Consultant at Jones Computer and Networking). The group is also having informal happy hour meetings (starting around 5:30) at the Chop House on 68 on the second Thursday of each month, opened to anyone (as opposed to the former group which was only open to women business owners and sponsors).
I invite you to check out the program and come to our next wine-and-greet on July 12.

od friend of mine and former boss, Twilla Otto was very involved in the local NAWBO before her death.
That was was supposed to begin with "A good friend..."
I must have just missed her - sorry to hear of her passing.
