NAWBO – Spotlight on Patty DeDominic

Women business owners from around the globe gathered in Chicago last week for the NAWBO Women's Business Conference. One of the faces in the crowd… Patty DeDominic. She has had a long relationship with NAWBO. I have photographed her many times over the years at civic events and I have found her to be a wonderful person.

I still remember the day when I heard about her Million Dollar challenge grant to NAWBO-LA; at the time, it was the largest gift ever given to NAWBO on any level by a single business owner. I remember thinking at the time… women are doing incredible things in business... you must be doing big business to afford to donate a cool Million... Patty truly must believe in the mission of NAWBO and the potential for women in the marketplace. These are great times for my daughter and other young women visionaries. NAWBO is a great place to connect with visionaries like Patty.

My daughter attended the Chicago conference and left the city excited about the possibilities. I was truly a proud papa when I saw my baby among the ranks of greatness in Chicago.

"NAWBO has, for decades, been close to my heart and helped me in my own business success. There are many alternatives when it comes to giving, but I wanted to ensure that NAWBO's valuable work would continue and that other entrepreneurs would be similarly inspired to contribute." ~ Patty DeDominic
