NAWBO-OC
Needs YOU!

 "Jumping
into committee work helped me to get to know my fellow
NAWBO members quickly! This exposure allowed me to
find vendors that I needed and get referrals for my
moving and storage business. When my company or a business
associate needs some type of service or product, I
always go to the NAWBO roster first." —Dee
Putman-Elliot, King Relocation Services
