Did you know that Saturday September 22nd is American Business Women’s Day?

For those that are not familiar with ABW Day here is the background:

The first American Business Women’s Day (ABW Day) was celebrated in 1982. It is a national day for American to recognize the achievements of not only ABWA (American Business Women’s Association) members but also the millions of employed women in the U. S. It’s observed on September 22, the anniversary of ABWA’s founding.

In 1983 and 1986, joint congressional resolutions passed designating a national observance of September 22 as American Business Women’s Day. Following each resolution, President Ronald Reagan issued a presidential proclamation.

How can we let this day pass without doing something?

Answer: WE CAN’T!!!

In celebration of American Business Women’s Day, we want to invite every woman in business to: American Business Women’s Day Cheer and Share

Time:

Pacific: 7am - 2pm

This 7-hour event will offer a chance for all businesswomen to:

• Share about their business
