What People Are Saying About NJAWBO . . .
"As usual...your staff and volunteers did an outstanding job, in putting together the 10th Annual Procurement Event & Expo! I am not at all surprised at the wonderful accolades that were provided by so many participants, during the sessions, the luncheon and even out into the parking lot! Your fine work truly gives testimony to the type of skill and dedication regularly demonstrated to help NJAWBO members gain access to procurement opportunities. Job well done!!! I am so happy that I had an opportunity to be there and to witness the splendor!"
Bernice P. Venable, Alphagraphics
NJAWBO Middlesex-Somerset Chapter
"I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much I appreciate the Procurement Fairs that NJAWBO puts on each year. The price of the conference along with the price of the annual dues is well worth every penny. Last year at the conference I met contacts from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, NJR Service Corp, and Tony Pallet. This past year, Concept Printing, Inc. has secured print and promotional jobs from each of these companies thanks to this NJAWBO event.
I have been a member since I began my business in 1990. I remember being one of the youngest members at the time and now 18 years later my business and I have matured and grown thanks to the many conferences, meetings and procurement opportunities that I have attended and exhibited at over the years.
This will be our third year exhibiting and because I find that this conference is well worth its “weight in gold” I decided to give back by offering a sponsorship. I look forward to the one-on-one meetings with potential buyers and the opportunity to display our booth and meet other NJAWBO members and exhibitors. Thank you for all your help and to those members who have made events like these so successful."

"Thank you for the information to participate in the VOCOC phone conference. Suzanne has a great understanding, and communicates well. It makes you feel like you are on the right track. This is not always apparent, but having her details of the many challenges we face with ourselves, partners, and business associates helps to validate and respect all we endure.
Again, I'm glad I participated, thank you. NJAWBO has been quite a Positive experience for me, and I'm very happy that I joined, for many reasons."
Cheryl Fodor, North Jersey Analysis Company
NJAWBO Sussex-Warren Chapter
"In addition to the expected benefits of being a member of NJAWBO (business development, education, expert advice), the State office frequently sends out RFP’s (Request for Proposal) from corporate sponsors, partners, associations and other organizations, even the State office – for products and services they may need. Just this Summer, I received such a request and was the vendor who was chosen for this particular project. Without NJAWBO, I would not be aware of opportunities like these! Thanks NJAWBO!"
Dawn Nakash, President, Daybreak Marketing
NJAWBO Monmouth-Ocean Chapter
"As a Corporate Trainer & Motivational Speaker for Positive Actions, most of my business is derived from referrals. One important industry segment that was missing from my portfolio was pharmaceuticals. I was the Middlesex-Somerset Chapter President working closely with the Secretary of the board. She left and returned to full-time employment. I remained in contact with her. One year later, she was part of a 10-member planning committee for an all day event. Because of my direct involvement with NJAWBO, I was referred to Johnson & Johnson to be their Keynote Speaker and Business Networking Seminar Presenter at their all day Women Leadership Initiative event. This exposure has given me access to new opportunities."

"I cannot imagine not having NJAWBO in my life. Through the past 18+ years, the connections, friends, relationships, business and growth I’ve experienced are far too numerous to mention. And these were built through my continued involvement and volunteer positions on the chapter and state levels."

"I just think NJAWBO is great. The membership is worth the abundance of information we receive alone--connecting me to so many veins in the state with little or no effort on my part."
Callie S. Crowder, CSC Wealth Management, LLC in Montclair, NJ
NJAWBO Essex Chapter
"My family was planning a trip to Florida for a week. We were flying into Tampa and flying back from Fort Myers. I was sure a real car would cost a fortune. I was right. The costs I was receiving from the major car rental companies were in the range of $350 and up. Then I remembered that NJAWBO had Enterprise Rent-A-Car as a corporate partner. I called the state office for the corporate code and then called Enterprise. The savings through Enterprise was almost $200. It paid my NJAWBO membership for a year! The moral of this story is clear. CHECK OUT OUR CORPORATE PARTNERS! You may be surprised."
Phyllis Micahnik, Accounts Receivable Training Systems, LLC
NJAWBO Tri-County Chapter
"As a participant at the 2006 Procurement event, I was thrilled to see the large number of trade show vendors that were looking to do business with US, as attendees! Big names as well as smaller companies that could all be great clients! The opportunity to get appointments and applications from these companies is worth hundreds of dollars, not to mention hob-knobbing with Supplier Diversity decision-makers. The seminars on getting certified were also beneficial, and I look forward to this new world of opportunity. One contract could provide BIG returns! Thanks for providing the forum."
