Every stage of the journey has a seat at this table. Considering an idea · Launching your first venture · Building a growing business · Established and scaling. Programming here is never split into beginner and expert tracks. Every topic serves the woman starting and the woman scaling, in the same room. Three Ways In

Choose Your GoalWe ask every member business to choose one of the seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and let it shape how she does business. Not all seventeen. One. The one your work already touches, whether that is quality education, good health, decent work, climate action, or gender equality, the goal our federation has carried since 1919. Name your goal in your Directory listing, build it into how you hire, source, price, and give, and tell the story. Seventeen goals, hundreds of member businesses, one federation moving the world one enterprise at a time. 
The NFBPWC Marketplace
Where Members Do Business With MembersPromote, Buy, ReferThe Marketplace is our members-only community for commerce: post what your business offers, find what you need, and send referrals to women you trust. If a member makes it or sells it, it belongs here. Join the Marketplace GroupThe Career ClosetProfessional attire deserves a second career too. Post the business wear you are parting with, from suits and blazers to shoes and bags, and let another member give it a new boardroom. Post with a photo, size, condition, and price; arrange payment and shipping or local pickup member to member.

She holds board and advisory seats across four continents, has delivered more than 120 keynotes in over 25 countries, and founded Wealth Warriors, a global business education platform.
