Please check out the Nurses Apron Partnership website and learn more about this awesome group – we were fascinated with how Ginger was able to take a chance encounter with something as basic as an apron and bring it together with an incredible group halfway around the world to help those who are trying to make a difference in the lives of women and children.

Nashville NAWBO strives to bring together successful women in business so we can share our knowledge, grow our businesses and grow ourselves.  This lunch did all of that – and we hope you can join us at the next one!

We had a great crowd for this luncheon (held at Maggiano’s Little Italy the last Thursday of each month):
