Running a Business can be a Lonely Job . . . That's why NABOE brings BUSINESS OWNERS together to share ideas and to uncover new opportunities; a place where you just might discover your "Next BIG IDEA" About the NABOE Presentation Series: Years ago only the largest companies played on the Global level. Today, globalization impacts every company from the 1 person start up to the multi-million revenue firm. Everything is globalized and everyone is effected by this dramatic change. NABOE presentation series recognizes this fact of life and provides both a local and world view for our participants. NABOEs targeted audience of privately held companies represents over 50% of our country’s GNP and are a major force in innovation and job growth. However, globalization presents both opportunities and dangers for our base. The first obvious effect that globalization has on business is the opening of doors and the increase in the amount of potential customers, suppliers, partners and collaborators out there. Years ago if your business was in Maryland, for example, it seemed too much of a hassle to try and trade and do business with someone out of your state and certainly not in other countries. Letters took days to arrive, telephones were helpful but finding new prospect phone numbers problematic and fulfilling order could take weeks or months. Join us and be apart of a growing, energetic association that works intimately to build a vibrant business community.
