NAWLA 10 GROUPS

“The 10 Groups at NAWLA have directly impacted my career by providing a trusted group of people who are like me, dealing with the same issues I deal with on a daily basis. We can bounce problems and ideas off each other with trusted peers and help each other manage our businesses. Additionally, you create a solid group of people that eventually become your very good friends.” – Bethany Doss, Capital Lumber
"Being a part of the first ever NAWLA Woman’s 10 Group (W.I.N), has given me exposure to a new network of industry professionals that I can learn from. Learning from industry people help me in my day to day business to stay fresh, relevant, and bring new ideas to our company." – Tina Breen, Sales Manager, Manufacturers Reserve Supply
“Participating in a 10 Group gives members the opportunity to meet with a small group of industry peers to discuss a variety of topics in an intimate setting. I have learned a lot from listening and interacting with the members of my group. More importantly, I have gained nine close friends that I can turn to for both professional and personal needs. I consider our group a resounding success!”If you are interested in joining or creating a 10 Group, click here to send us an email letting us know which group you would like to join.
