Francine Manilow, 2010 Woman Business Owner of the Year Congratulates This Year’s NAWBO Honoree: Laurette Rondenet!

NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) held their annual Luncheon, another spectacular event, this year at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago, gathering innumerable talents from radio, consulting, foodservice, and hospitality industries to name just a few.

NAWBO’s roots run deep, since its establishment in 1975, it’s acquired over 5,000 members and 60 chapters across the United States. The NAWBO spirit is alive and well through the strength and tenacity of women such as Manilow and Rondenet who, whether starting her career in customer service and taking over as CEO after 15 years as Rondenet did, or establishing a national leader in corporate housing for temporary relocations and other needs, as founder and CEO of Manilow Suites, answering Beyonce’s prophetic query “Who run the world?”
