The Phoenix Chapter of the National Association Women Business Owners is launching an exciting array of events and fundraising opportunities. Chief among them is NAW’Bro’, a new annual fundraiser added to the roster of their legacy events.
This year, the chapter aims to strengthen its support amongst non-members and their male counterparts through this unique event. NAW’Bro’ is the first of its kind to raise awareness for Arizona women business owners by honoring the men in our community who actively support women in business, as well as provide the space for men to show up for women in business. The NAW’Bro’ fundraiser will be Gatsby-themed and held on May 8 at the Janet Cussler Car Collection in Scottsdale.
“NAW’Bro’ is truly a unique event dedicated to honoring the men who have supported female entrepreneurship. We wanted to create a fun fundraising event to raise awareness for our initiatives, while bringing together the men that actively support women in business. We’re hosting it at one of Scottsdale’s exclusive venues, the Janet Cussler Car collection, which features cars dating back to 1902! We’re bringing influential speakers and networking opportunities for Arizona’s business leaders,” says Suzi Freeman, president of NAWBO Phoenix.
Come join and mingle in support for NAWBO and Arizona’s female entrepreneurs. You can stay updated on all our events by visiting nawbophx.org.

The Phoenix NAWBO chapter was established more than 20 years ago, and has successfully mentored, supported and educated thousands of women to build thriving businesses. All proceeds from the event will go to assisting the chapter in its efforts to continue having a profound impact in the lives of local women business owners, from affordable learning experiences and mentorships to public policy events that directly influence female entrepreneurs.
For instance, we’re launching the NEXT-Gen mentorship program for women of any age with ambitions to start a new business or who have up to three years in business. We are also creating the Two-Day Business Summit dedicated for these new entrepreneurs to learn from leading Arizona female entrepreneurs.
In conclusion, the Phoenix Chapter of the National Association Women Business Owners is embarking on an exciting journey of empowerment, support and growth. With the introduction of NAW’Bro’, a groundbreaking annual fundraiser, we are not only celebrating the men who champion women in business but also creating a vibrant space for collaboration and progress. The Gatsby-themed NAW’Bro’ event on May 8th promises a night of elegance and inspiration, set amidst the backdrop of the Janet Cussler Car Collection. This event is a testament to our commitment to fostering a thriving ecosystem for female entrepreneurs in Arizona.
