Who’s Your Remarkable Woman?
Courageous, inspiring, nurturing - remarkable women do things every day that make us stronger and our lives more fulfilling. For each of us, there is a special woman who at some point in our lives encouraged and helped us and others to dream, create, learn, study, and persevere. Because of her, many live better lives filled with courage, inspiration and hope.
The Orange County chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO-OC) has declared October as Remarkable Women month. On October 15, hundreds will pay tribute to three successful woman business owners for their leadership, ingenuity, and tenacity at NAWBO-OC’s annual Remarkable Women dinner from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel in Costa Mesa. In honoring these three business leaders, we also want to hear about many other remarkable women and the extraordinary things they have done to make the world a better place to live.
Tell us about your Remarkable Woman!
She could be a mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, wife, friend, teacher, or mentor. Honor and pay tribute to this special woman through the Remarkable Woman Video Contest.

The video will be posted on the NAWBO-OC Facebook and Twitter pages as well as the NAWBO-OC YouTube channel.
