Senate Resolution by Senator Jones recognizes April 23, 2025, as National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Day in Florida. This resolution highlights the significant contributions of NAWBO, which was founded in 1975 by a group of businesswomen in Washington, D.C., to support and empower women entrepreneurs. The organization has played a crucial role in advocating for women's business rights, including the passage of the Women's Business Ownership Act in 1988, which allowed women to secure business loans without needing a male cosigner. NAWBO has expanded its reach across the United States and globally, with a strong presence in Florida, where it has five chapters.

The resolution also emphasizes NAWBO's ongoing efforts to promote economic development for women-owned businesses and to address the disparities they face in securing state and federal contracts. On April 23, 2025, the Florida chapters of NAWBO will gather at the Capitol to raise awareness about issues affecting women business owners and to celebrate the organization's 50th anniversary. The resolution aims to honor the impact of NAWBO in transforming the business landscape for women and to recognize its role in fostering a supportive community for female entrepreneurs.
