HBBA New website

HBBA is Developing a new website. The site which is under construction is being built by Chris Robinson of Giantseed Creative, an HBBA member. It will streamline many processes and give members direct control of their own information pages. The new directory will be much more flexible with more search and sorting ability than in the past. Additional features will be added to make chapter and district management more turnkey as the site evolves to meet the future needs of the organization. Beta testing will begin in January with anticipated release of the first phase of development in February at the Annual Banquet.

Mission Statement

HBBA is a business collaboration group that focuses on creating business opportunities through building effective business networks, continued education, promotional opportunities and strategic partnership. HBBA has developed a positive, supportive and structured environment while at the same time offering each chapter the flexibility to create its own imprint for success. To accomplish this mission the HBBA will grow internally and externally through strategic partnerships within our community and the leaders of business. HBBA recognizes that to be successful we must continually strive to support our communities as we support each other.

What is HBBA?

HBBA is an organization of business people with a desire to help each other. The most prominent way we help each other is by passing business referrals, but HBBA members do much more. We share our time, experience and other resources with each other to achieve a greater benefit for all members.

HBBA is a completely volunteer organization. This means we depend on members to assist each other and take the initiative to get involved. The real magic in HBBA is in the relationships that we build. We have chapter meetings which give each member a foundation to begin their HBBA experience. However, HBBA operates as an entire organization or like a family. Members are encouraged to visit other chapters and attend HBBA sponsored events. This allows our members to grow their networks beyond their chapters.

Why should you and your organization join HBBA?
