Kelly Scanlon, president of Thinking Bigger Business Media, has been elected chair of the National Board of Directors for the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). Scanlon was installed for a one-year term on June 9 at NAWBO’s 2010 Women’s Business Conference in Washington, D.C. The organization celebrated its 35th anniversary at the conference, which attracted hundreds of U.S. and global women entrepreneurs.
The installing officer for the 13-member board was Virginia Littlejohn, a past NAWBO national president who was a driving force behind the lobbying that led to the passage of the Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988 (HR 5050), which allowed women to gain access to capital in their own name.
NAWBO is the largest membership organization exclusively for women business owners in the country. With 80 chapters nationwide and members in 60 countries on five continents, NAWBO serves women business owners through education, strategic alliances and public policy.
