On March 9, 2025, I had the incredible opportunity of representing the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Silicon Valley at the International Women’s Day Networking Event hosted by Rotary District 5170.

It was an evening filled with powerful conversations, meaningful connections, and a shared commitment to uplifting women in business and leadership.

From engaging with like-minded professionals to hearing from an inspiring panel of women leaders, the event reinforced the importance of women supporting women—not just on International Women’s Day but every day.

And a heartfelt thank you to our generous NAWBO SV members for donating to the beautifully curated gift baskets—your contributions helped make this event even more special!

Let’s keep the momentum going beyond International Women’s Day—because when women support women, we all rise!
