Who We Are:

Boston North Business Association (BNBA) is a regional organization serving the Boston Area communities. As a viable regional organization with a growing membership base, the Association continues to implement their purpose of promoting, networking and advocating for businesses in the Boston area.

One of the most important roles a Business Association can play is bringing members of the business community together to unify them in order to help each other grow and build a stronger economy.

Founded in 1994, the Boston North Business Association is composed of professionals doing business in Boston MA and surrounding towns, who meet regularly for the purpose of fostering business development among each other and throughout the community. We are a self-regulating group managed by officers selected from the membership. Our goals are embodied in our mission statement.

Mission Statement:

Bring together members of the Boston North Business community to promote, network and advocate in order to create and build stronger business alliance.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is rather simple and based on the idea of “Paying It Forward”, put other businesses ahead of yours, support other businesses and you will be amazed how much you will get back in loyalty and referrals.

he key to true business networking is the establishment of a mutally beneficial relationship, and that’s an incredibly rare event at the standard shake-hands-and-exchange-your-business-card events that are touted as business networking “opportunities”.

The purpose of business networking is to increase business revenue / Leads – one way or another. The thickening of the bottom line can be immediately apparent, as in developing a relationship with a new client, or develop over time, as in learning a new business skill.

Our BNBA Association operates as exchanges of business information, ideas, and support. The most important skill for effective business networking is listening; focusing on how you can help the person you are listening to rather than on how he or she can help you is the first step to establishing a mutally beneficial relationship.

” My biggest joy is to see individuals exchange business cards and build relationships during our events. It is never about solicitation of money for me or for anyone within our board of directors. We take great pride in connecting our members and helping them grow their businesses. Giving them new fresh ideas or cost cutting suggestions to help them grow their business.

We want to continue to grow our Association one business at a time, we want to learn as much as we can about our new members so we can connect them with others”
