NAWBO PAC

Formed in 1999, the NAWBO PAC is a non-partisan Federal PAC that endorses and provides financial contributions to candidates who support NAWBO’s public policy platform. The PAC fund serves the public policy strategic objectives of NAWBO by providing a means for making financial contributions to federal officeholders and candidates in federal elections whose continued service or election will enhance NAWBO’s ability to achieve its objectives.

When selecting candidates to support, the NAWBO PAC considers:

• Is the candidate a NAWBO member?
• Is the candidate a business owner?
• Is the candidate supportive of NAWBO issues?
• Does the candidate hold a leadership position on a legislative committee key to NAWBO’s interests?

Giving Circles
NAWBO PAC proudly announces its annual PAC Giving Circles. These circles are named for women on whose shoulders we stand today.

• Abigail Adams Giving Circle ($2,500 to $5,000). In our country's infancy, Adams influenced public policy by articulating her views to her politically powerful husband, President John Adams.
• Susan B. Anthony Giving Circle ($1,000 to $2,499). Anthony dedicated her life to women's suffrage, women's rights to own property, and women’s rights to attend institutions of higher learning.
• Jeannette Rankin Giving Circle ($500 to $999). Rankin became the first woman elected to the US House of Representatives and the first woman in any western democracy to be elected to a national legislature.
• Margaret Chase Smith Giving Circle ($100 to $499). Smith was the first woman elected to both the House and Senate and the first woman to be nominated by a major political party for the office of President of the United States.
