"We are constantly focusing, refocusing, pushing, pausing, inventing, reinventing, stretching and balancing. This year's conference is designed to focus on the wellness and wholeness of attendees so they can continue on their entrepreneurial path armed with the resources they need to be successful."

The NAWBO WBC draws nearly a thousand women business owners from around the globe and offers break-out sessions that provide practical and inspirational tools to scale and grow businesses of all sizes, from soloproneurs to multi-million dollar enterprises. Bank of America will serve as the WBC's Presenting Sponsor for the sixth year.

"Women business owners play a critical role in driving economic growth, fostering a competitive marketplace and providing critically-needed products and services," said Jill Calabrese Bain, head of Bank of America's Small Business Merchant Services. "NAWBO's annual conference is a great time for women business owners to pause, reflect and recharge. Bank of America is proud to support this empowering event as presenting sponsor."

NAWBO was founded 43 years ago in Washington, D.C. to serve as an advocacy organization for all women business owners. The national organization continues to ensure that women business owners have a voice at all decision-making tables. For more information visit www.nawbo.org.
