Why Become an NSBA Member
Join a Network That Works as Hard as You Do
The NSBA is a fiercely independent member-driven organization that works for you!
Whether it’s lobbying on your behalf to elected officials, creating programming that consistently exceeds expectations, or helping to foster a collegial atmosphere in the business community, the NSBA places the needs of its members first. Our members make us who we are: they are loyal, hard-working, and community-minded and we strive to give back to our members more than they give to us. As one esteemed member so eloquently put it: “Being part of the association, the NSBA, is a no-brainer; you give to get.”

“Large, small or somewhere in-between, businesses have relied on the NSBA to be the agile, bold and confident voice on issues that affect all businesses. As an action-oriented organization free of bureaucracy, the NSBA has built an engaged and inclusive business network that is collaborative and progressive, and together we make informed decisions. I appreciate that our common interest of building a strong business environment has been, and continues to be, the focus. I have been a member of the NSBA for several years and have served on various committees along with currently serving on the board of directors. I have learned valuable lessons from other NSBA members and programs, while making incredible contacts through my involvement in the organization. The NSBA team have built a culture that is strong and dedicated to its members. For over 50 years, the NSBA has been us – the business community.
