Member led, member driven. CBIA’s committees are where members shape the association’s programs, events and positions.
CBIA works through committees, councils and a Board of Directors. Committees are where most members start, and where much of the year’s work takes shape.
Find your fit.
There is a place here whatever your trade, your schedule or your years in the industry. Not sure where you belong? Our Ambassadors walk new members in: introductions, committee fits, first events.
