I joined NOWIB in 2007 as an outlet to meet and network with other professional women given that I'm one of the few female professionals at my workplace. I've continued my involvement as both a member and a Board member due to the wonderful friendships I've made along the way. I would highly recommend joining NOWIB to any professional woman who is looking to develop lasting relationships with other like-minded women.
