Season 2 | Episode 40

What happens when advocacy efforts hit a roadblock, but the mission is too important to pause?



Elle Patout, Director of Advocacy and Public Relations at NAWBO, returns to share insights from the latest visit to Capitol Hill and continued efforts to advance a national microbusiness definition. While the issue gained traction across party lines, it’s not a current priority for Congress.



So what’s next? Elle breaks down how NAWBO is shifting from a federal legislative push to building coalitions, expanding state-level momentum and equipping chapters with the tools to drive change where it matters most. She also shares updates on NAWBO’s regional advocacy efforts and offers ways for all members to get involved, lend their voice and help shape the future of policy for women business owners.
