Media opportunities for NAWBO D/FW members
As a member of NAWBO D/FW, you can have access to the many media opportunities that NAWBO receives weekly. This will assist you in increasing visibility for yourself and your businesses. All you have to do is check your weekly e-mails and take action!

Story ideas
If you have a story idea you think might be of interest to the media and could lead to a great article, please send your thoughts to Veronica Thomison at vpt@mprsource.com and include NAWBO STORY IDEA in the subject line.

Free PR for your business
An easy, free way to publicize your business is to send a couple of lines to NAWBO D/FW about your business for "Members Making News". Have you done business during the month with a NAWBO member or corporate partner? Did you get a referral or a tip through NAWBO? Are you offering a new product line?

Last month hundreds of members missed the opportunity to gain invaluable exposure for their businesses. You don't have to be a Virginia Woolf to write a few lines. Just e-mail the information to the NAWBO D/FW office at info@nawbotx.org by the e-newsletter deadline, which is the first Wednesday of the month. Be sure to indicate that your e-mail message is for "Members Making News". Advertising to your NAWBO member peers couldn't be simpler—or at a better price.

Free Legal Hotline from Jackson Walker Call 214-953-5969. Jackson Walker, our long-time corporate partner, generously donates attorneys’ time for a cost-free legal hotline. This is an exclusive benefit for NAWBO D/FW members. The hotline provides legal advice about minor problems we encounter as business owners in areas such as real estate, corporate/securities, finance, environmental, tax, labor and employment, creditors’ rights, litigation and intellectual property.
Issues addressed might include, for example, questions on incorporating a business, terminating an employee, or responding when a lawsuit or subpoena has been served on the member’s business. The hotline is designed to address legal questions that can be answered in 10-15 minutes, without significant research, and to provide guidance as to what legal actions may be appropriate or necessary.

Jackson Walker cannot become involved in disputes that require an extensive time commitment. If the legal problems should become serious or require extensive involvement by an attorney, the member is free to seek counsel of her choice. If the member requests, Jackson Walker may represent you in the matter or refer you to another attorney. Any representation and related charges would be reviewed with you in advance.

To use this free, exclusive NAWBO D/FW benefit, call 214-953-5969, state you are calling the hotline and identify yourself as a NAWBO member.
