President’s Message: Members First In Action

Dear NAWBO Sisterhood,

When we said this would be a Members First year, we meant it. And February and March are beautiful examples of that commitment in action.

 February: Ladies Over Lunch

On the first Friday of February, we gathered for Ladies Over Lunch — and what a powerful afternoon it was.

The conversations were honest.
The connections were intentional.
The room was filled with women who showed up fully — to share, to listen, and to support one another.

These moments matter.

There is something special about sitting across the table from another woman business owner who understands the wins, the challenges, and the responsibility we carry. That’s where real relationships are built. That’s where collaboration begins.

Members First means creating spaces where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

 March: Top Ten Awards

Now we turn our focus to one of our signature events — the Top Ten Michigan Business Women Awards.

This is more than a celebration. It’s a spotlight on excellence. It’s a reminder that women-owned businesses are driving impact across our region.

The room will be filled with entrepreneurs, corporate partners, elected officials, and community leaders. It’s a place to connect, be visible, and celebrate the powerful work our members are doing.

If you’ve never attended Top Ten — this is your year. Join us on March 11th. Learn more and register here.

February reminded us of the strength of our sisterhood.
March will showcase the brilliance of our leaders.
All year, we continue putting members first.

With gratitude,
Tenicia Moulden, Esq.
President, NAWBO Greater Detroit
