NAWBO Adds "sparXX" to ASU Event Honoring Women Leaders
Seven members of the National Association of Women Business Owners, Phoenix Chapter, were honored for contributions to women's entrepreneurship programs and being successful businesswomen themselves.
Phoenix, AZ, June 04, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), Phoenix Chapter, participated in the recent Arizona State University (ASU) Entrepreneurship and Innovation SparXX Fly event.
