The Ventura County chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO VC) installed its new Board of Directors in July at the woman-owned RELM Wine & Beer Bistro in Camarillo as part of its Summer Celebration. Marsha Bailey, founder of Women’s Economic Ventures installed the new slate of officers who represent a broad spectrum of industries, leadership and business acumen.
Lynnette Coverly, founder and CEO of Coverly Professional Services, Inc. was named the 2019/2020 President of the chapter, after having served as President-Elect the year prior.
Coverly outlined exciting plans for the new year. She plans to launch quarterly idea-sharing Membership Meet-Ups to allow members to get to know each other in a more relaxed environment. She also announced ideas to reenergize the chapter’s monthly meetings, which includes holding them throughout the County, incorporating breakfast and lunch time-frames, and co-hosting networking activities and educational workshops with community partners. “I’m thrilled at the momentum our chapter is gaining and I look forward to continuing to offer a collaborative, educational and supportive environment for women business owners throughout our county.” Coverly added that she’d like to launch a business book club and grow the organization’s Mastermind and Mentor Programs. She even hinted at the possibility of a few scholarships to diversify the membership and broaden its reach into new industries.
The Board of Directors is joined by a Leadership Council, which is an active group of women business owners, serving as Chairs for many facets of the chapter’s programming:
