2 120 members $1 billion combined annual revenue member businesses employ 600+ people average member business ownership is 9+ years 25% of member businesses exceed $1 million in annual sales; 42% exceed $250,000 Connection. Such a simple concept. To join, to relate. To bridge a gap, to fill a need. There is so much more to a corporate partnership with NAWBO Columbus than the exchange of dollars for benefits. There is the intrinsic value associated with creating relationships between people and businesses. Finding the right company, whose product or service solves a nagging problem. Or that next big client to help take a company to the next level. Or a stranger who becomes a colleague and mentor, who provides the kind of support that can t simply be listed on a benefits chart. There is a reason we have corporate partners and not sponsors. We want a two-way street: you help us grow our organization and grow our member businesses, and we in turn will help you reach your company s goals and form meaningful relationships. A corporate partnership with NAWBO Columbus affords exposure and access to the dynamic, diverse, and evergrowing landscape of women business owners.
