Women in Business Helping Women in Crisis

Thank you to Harriet Burnstein for making this event possible, and to

Silver Sponsor Miller Cooper & Co.

NAWBO Chicago is the leading organization in the Chicago area representing the interests of all women business owners, and its members recognize the critical need to help people stay in their homes, keep food on their tables and handle life’s unexpected needs.

“We are committed to helping women and, by extension, families, become self-sufficient and self-sustaining as they move from crisis to hope,” says NAWBO Chicago President Gail Zelitzky. “Through this event, we hope to bring the issue of homelessness to the forefront, and invite civic leaders, the local media and area corporations to join us in bring awareness and clarity to the growing problem of women and families in trouble.”

“Emergencies don’t discriminate,” says Emergency Fund Chief Executive Officer Nonie Brennan. “An emergency can happen at any time, in any neighborhood, and in any person’s life. At Emergency Fund, we do everything we can to help families and individuals across the region make it through another day with dignity.”
