Northwest Businesswomen's Association's weekly meetings provide the opportunity to support each other in mutually advancing our businesses by providing a forum for relationship-building, self-introduction, educational and professional development. Northwest Businesswomen's Association is a group of professional business people who are committed to promoting the advancement of women in business. NWBW Members,     I would like to suggest that we find a civic project to participate in or to help a non-profit organization like Blue Santa or Coats for Kids as a holiday project.     If you have a favorite cause or charity, please give the information to me or one of the board members before our August board meeting and I will compile the suggestions. It would be helpful to have a contact person or website for more information.     We can discuss this at the NWBW board meeting in August and decide if we want to participate and which group will benefit from our help. There are lots of worthwhile causes, so give us some ideas. Best regards, Linda Moore Visit our newest members' Web sites, email them and welcome them to NWBW.
