Kashi Founder Gayle Tauber to Keynote

SAN DIEGO—January 31, 2011—The National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) San Diego, which promotes, supports and educates women business owners in achieving success, announced today that it will host its annual BRAVO! Awards, celebrating the achievements of women business owners, on Wednesday, May 18. Gayle Tauber, founder of Kashi Company, will be the keynote speaker at the evening event, which will be at the Marriott Courtyard Airport/Liberty Station, 2592 Laning Road.

Tauber will share her inspirational story of more than 40 years as an entrepreneur in the areas of health and fitness, social responsibility, and preservation. The La Jolla native is best known for founding Kashi, which was sold to Kellogg Company in 2000, but she’s also been at the helm of several other successful startups.

Details about submitting nominations for the six BRAVO! Awards will be announced next month, and registration will open in March. Sponsorship opportunities are still available; corporate support is invaluable to offset event costs and increase the amount donated to its beneficiary, San Diego City College. For the second year, NAWBO San Diego will fund scholarships for women business students with some of the event proceeds.
