The Metropolitan Business Association was founded in 1975
as an association of leading Portland area business owners/operators,
CEOs and COOs, in a wide variety of categories, for the
purpose of development and exchange of business, referrals
and leads.
· Membership
is by invitation from a current member, and is limited
to one firm per category. Each firm may have, in addition
to the primary member, up to two associate members,
who must also be key decision makers.
·
Membership provides business enhancement/networking
opportunities; a resource for quality goods and services;
a forum to get to know business owners/managers and
professionals of Portland’s leading businesses and firms,
many in fields outside your own that you otherwise may
not otherwise know; an inside track on important business
activity in the community; an opportunity to hear from
diversified speakers who provide educational opportunities;
enjoyable social exchange.

| As
part of the Portland media, KBNP Radio is often
invited to join countless civic and business organizations.
Over the past 17 years, I have found one such
organization that stands above the rest, the Metropolitan
Business Association. It is more attached to its
entire membership's success by fostering business-to-business
transactions between owners, managers, and key-decision
makers rather than those "sales representatives
and account managers" who belong to Chamber
groups - and are there only to sell you something
instead of building solid business relationships.

| We
have been members of the MBA for almost
10 years - our membership dues have been
a very cost effective marketing expense.
We have received countless opportunities
from the membership but more importantly,
the membership has confidence to refer business
outside the organization to us. And, when
we are in need of counsel on an issue that
a member has expertise in, we don't hesitate
to call and get professional, well-balanced
advise. The MBA is an incredible resource,
both for us and our customers!!!

The Executive Director is warm and welcoming, and helps keep volunteer committee work to an absolute minimum. If your business category isn't already filled, joining Metropolitan Business Association will help you grow your business in a fun and profitable way.
