Aerobodies Joins NAWBO Greater DC as a Supporter Level Member

Aerobodies is excited to share some important news: we are now a Supporter Level Member of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Greater DC Chapter. This step represents more than joining a business organization — it’s about aligning our values, supporting the growth of women entrepreneurs, and investing in a community that reflects leadership, innovation, and collaboration.

As a woman-owned company rooted in wellness and organizational excellence, Aerobodies has always believed in creating environments where people and businesses thrive. NAWBO’s mission — to propel women entrepreneurs into greater spheres of power — resonates deeply with our work, and through this membership we are ready to strengthen our role in advancing opportunities for women business owners in the DC region and beyond.

A Shared Legacy of Leadership

NAWBO was founded in 1975 by pioneering women entrepreneurs in Washington, DC, seeking a community where women-owned businesses could support one another and advocate for recognition. Nearly 50 years later, NAWBO has become a national force representing more than 11 million women-owned businesses.

For Aerobodies, this history is personal. Our founder and CEO, Fran Dean-Bishop, knows firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with entrepreneurship. Through NAWBO, she and our team can amplify our voice, learn from other leaders, and contribute to shaping a more inclusive future.

Why This Membership Matters to Aerobodies

Joining NAWBO Greater DC aligns with the work we’ve been doing for decades:

  • Standing alongside innovators. We know that women entrepreneurs are driving transformation across industries, and we’re proud to be part of that momentum.
  • Contributing expertise. Our white papers on Mental Health at Work, Sleep Management, and Leadership Development provide actionable strategies for healthier workplaces and more resilient leaders. These are the same values we’ll bring to the NAWBO community.
  • Supporting advocacy. Just as NAWBO champions access to capital and equity in contracting, our work highlights the systemic changes needed to build sustainable, people-first organizations.
  • Empowering communities. Programs like our WellTeamCulture accelerator reflect the same spirit of collaboration NAWBO fosters — equipping leaders to build workplaces where people feel engaged, connected, and supported.

The Benefits of NAWBO Membership

For Aerobodies, NAWBO opens the door to:

  • Networking & Community — Building authentic relationships with women business owners who, like us, believe in lifting as they climb.
  • Professional Development & Education — Adding our wellness expertise to NAWBO’s workshops and seminars while also learning from others’ entrepreneurial experiences.
  • Advocacy & Policy Impact — Engaging in conversations that shape the future of women-owned businesses in the region and nationally.
  • Visibility & Credibility — Demonstrating that Aerobodies is not only a corporate wellness leader but also an active supporter of women in business.

Looking Ahead

This membership is more than a partnership — it’s part of Aerobodies’ broader mission to transform how organizations care for their people. Our library of research-backed resources, from Stress Management to Sustainable Wellbeing, offers insights that will add depth to the NAWBO community while keeping us connected to the issues that matter most to women entrepreneurs.

We believe that when women support women, everyone benefits. Aerobodies is proud to stand with NAWBO Greater DC — and we’re excited to share stories, research, and collaborations that help elevate women’s voices in business and build a healthier, stronger future for all.

Stay tuned for updates on NAWBO events, Aerobodies insights, and the inspiring leaders we’ll meet along the way.
