UPS has signed as a sponsor of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), an organization advancing the interests of women entrepreneurs.
The sponsorship affords UPS participation in NAWBO’s annual conference; branding opportunities with the group’s publications, Web site and events and collaboration on other marketing initiatives.
In addition, NAWBO has designated UPS as a preferred provider of worldwide express package delivery and logistics services.
According to an analysis by the Center for Women’s Business Research, the latest Census Bureau data shows that nearly half of all privately held U.S. firms are owned by women and are growing faster than the national average of private firms. Women business owners have the same questions and needs as their male counterparts but seek resources through a variety of support networks.
