Roundtable FAQs
Roundtables are open to all NAWBO Columbus Premier Members.
Each group will meet regularly and determine the best meeting times, locations and schedule.
The groups set their own agenda based on business owners’ needs or resources from the NAWBO Resource Bank.
The waiting period after application submission varies depending on current Roundtable openings.
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.
