Come say hi to NAWBO at our display table at the Seminole County Chamber Professional Women’s Luncheon.

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.

Speaker:
Tanya Easterling, market president, Central Florida Region, Florida Blue

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.

NAWBO’s 2026 summit is an intimate, highly curated event that brings together 150 women business owners for context, culture and leadership in an unforgettable destination. It blends purposeful programming with rich local experiences, offering space to build meaningful relationships, gain fresh perspective and engage deeply with the vibrant spirit of Miami.

Orlando Chapter members traveling to Miami - we plan to make the trip via Brightline. If you’d like to join us, please email president@nawboorlando.org for more details.

Join the NAWBO Orlando Board in October for a special “Coffee with the Board.” This free, informal meetup is your chance to build your network, strengthen relationships, and grow your business—all in a relaxed coffee shop setting.
