Roundtable Documents

The NAWBO Columbus Roundtables program provides both first-time and experienced business owners with a confidential, supportive group to share ideas, insights, advice, and inspiration.

Each Roundtable consists of approximately five to nine women business owners who meet monthly to discuss the individual challenges, concerns and triumphs that come with owning your own business. Each of the participants is a woman who understands the pressures of business ownership and has relevant experience to share.

We currently have general roundtables for all types of businesses, no matter the size or how long you’ve been in business. Roundtables are complimentary and are one of the many benefits exclusively available to NAWBO Columbus Premier Members.
