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 since its inception in 1975, when a group of businesswomen in Washington, D.C. came together to support each other's entrepreneurial interests. Over the years, NAWBO 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. The organization has expanded its reach globally and has established chapters across the United States, including three in Florida.

The resolution emphasizes NAWBO's commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs by advocating for equitable access to state and federal contracts, which has historically resulted in significant revenue losses for women-owned businesses. 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 Senate's recognition of this day aims to honor the impact of NAWBO in promoting economic development and influencing public policy for women entrepreneurs in Florida and beyond.
