About The National Association For Moms In Business
by -
The National Association For Moms In Business
is the leading national association for Entrepreneurial, Executive, & CEO Moms
Moms In Business are one of the most powerful people in the world...
Working Mothers influence everything
from what we eat,
to the way we dress,
to what we drive.
Moms who are in business not only influence their personal circles, they also influence the direction, the connections, and policies that effect the future of small business. 44% of women business owners have children under the age of 18 and even more have older children and grand children. 61% of female corporate executives also have children, and they are on the rise -- an increase of 60% has been seen in women taking on executive positions. In addition, 86% of female business owners and executives not only consider a company's policies towards moms before purchasing, they also use the same company for both personal and business purchases. According to The Shriver Report, moms are the breadwinners for 2/3rd of America's households.

"As a member of MIBN and regular gala supporter, I have built my accounting firm from an idea to 200 clients, many of which are MIBN members or came as referrals from MIBN members. The business generated more than paid for the cost of my gala sponsorship. The real value for me is that I have developed several new relationships with inspiring and intelligent women that will last a lifetime. I'm a die-hard supporter of the Create Your Dreams Gala and MIBN and willc ontinue to be because they have been a die-hard supporter of my dreams!"

* This number is an estimation from studies by the Census Bureau and The Center for Women's Business Research. RESOURCES: Census.gov, Lucid Marketing, BSM Media, Dept. of Labor, Center for Women's Business Research, Pew Research Foundation  Moms in business are complex too. They understand that doing business the right way benefits their personal families and their corporate families. They have a high regard for "doing right by people", and often times will sacrifice their own desires for the good of everyone. They also tend to be more successful and last longer as business owners than their male counterparts. They are fiercely loyal to companies and programs that support and respect them, their families, their business success. Moms in business are also more likely to spend more money for a product or service that brings success and saves them time. Any company that can connect doing business with them to mom's business success while giving her more time to spend with their family, is a company that moms in business want to know about. The"average" member has her own business with sales averaging $1.5 million per year with an average of 5 employees. She earns approximately $125,000 per year, and has children in the home.
