What is needed to get the most out of my membership?
There are many ways to get involved in CBIA! Council and Committee participation is one way. Within the CBIA we have a number of Councils and Committees that have been formed over the years in order to focus in on some of the major areas of the industry. These special interest groups are a great way to become more involved and proactive in the organization and in the community in general.

Marketing and Sponsorship opportunities are another way. There are numerous opportunities available for our members to market their products and services to the industry and the general public. Member companies quite often do business with other CBIA members. Members can expand their business network by attending meetings and events. Businesses can also gain more exposure by advertising in our publication, the Business Builder or exhibiting at trade shows and events.

Lastly, come to our events! There’s no better way to meet people and network than at our many events. Stay up-to-date with our events by checking in to this website weekly and by reading our monthly publication, Business Builder.
