NJAWBO, Hudson County Chapter (in formation)
President-elect:  Wendy Oliveras, Founder & CEO of Oliveras & Company, Inc.

The Hudson County Chapter of NJAWBO (New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners) is preparing to launch its formation on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 6:30 pm at The Embankment, Jersey City, NJ, to serve as a valuable resource for women business owners in Hudson County.

NJAWBO is the oldest statewide women business owners' organization in the United States.  Its primary objective is to
support and encourage business ownership by women.  Since 1978, NJAWBO has helped women achieve their business visions by providing them with the tools to develop and grow their enterprises.

Networking, partnering, leadership, education and political advocacy are the hallmarks of the NJAWBO experience.  As of today, NJAWBO has grown to almost 1,000 members, organized in 14 chapters, and three regional groupings, with
members serving as officers at the chapter, regional and state levels.  Together, we are a diverse, dynamic, and powerful group of women business owners.

With the slowly increasing opportunities for women, ups and downs of the economy, fast-paced changes in technology
and unique challenges women business owners face today, our mission to encourage women's economic independence through business ownership, is more important than ever before.

If you are a woman business owner in Hudson County and wish to be a part of a dynamic and supportive group of women business owners like yourself, please feel free to send your contact information to:  info@njawbo-hudson.org.
