NBA PENNSYLVANIA
Subcommittees
Membership & Sponsorship Committee
As a non-profit organization the NBA relies heavily on sponsor contributions and member dues to fund operations. NBA headquarters provides technical and administrative staff and handles all accounting for each Chapter. The focus of the committee is to grow the chapter by increasing membership – through attracting a balance of professional members from the four major market sectors. In addition the committee will also look to secure a diverse group of public and private sector Chapter sponsors that could provide financial contributions to help fund NBA Chapter operations.
