By 2012, the industry will include 865,000 workers, a 14.7 percent increase over 10 years.

This is a picture of Renee and me at her booth in Phoenix. By the way, NAWBO's conference was held at the Biltmore Resort and Spa – a magnificent venue. Renee Lombardi from Peru was one of the amazing women in attendance. Thirty-eight years ago, Renee had a dream of creating a business providing custom knits and woven clothing incorporating the latest fashion trends in designs most women like and can wear.
