This is a Seminole County Chamber event that NAWBO is participating in.

The Professional Women's Luncheon has set the standard for showcasing successful women in an environment that is inspiring and exciting.  At each lunch, a high profile woman shares her life story, giving attendees a look into the struggles and accomplishments of women throughout Central Florida.  Likewise, the luncheon is attended by successful business women who participate in special activities designed to facilitate introductions.

During this luncheon, a community leader will share her inspiring personal story and professional journey, which may include recollections of violent and/or traumatic events. We encourage all guests to prioritize their own wellbeing and consider their tolerance for these topics when deciding whether or not to attend.

Beyond the Bid - Government Contracting Unlocked

Join us for our first-of-its-kind panel event built around one idea: Helping entrepreneurs and small business owners break into government contracting at the federal, state, and local level.

We are excited to have a five-person expert panel who will share their expertise and insights, followed by a live audience Q&A. You will get a practical, end-to-end playbook to navigate the full relationship lifecycle of government contracting. Afterward, we will have a networking session that will connect you, by role and opportunity, directly with primes, subcontractors, and procurement reps in the room.

Leave with a clear picture of how to brand yourself for government visibility, how to build the relationships that lead to bids, and how to come back stronger when you lose one. Plus direct connections with the people who can actually move the needle.

NAWBO Orlando is organizing this in collaboration with Orange County SBE Program, National Entrepreneur Center (NEC Orlando), NAWIC, Seminole County Chamber of Commerce, and the University of Central Florida.
