Lynnette Coverly named 2019/20 President of NAWBO Ventura County July 1, 2019

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.
