Membership Information

Welcome to the GABA Team,

Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the Global African Business Association (GABA). I am looking forward to learning more about you, your business, and working together to determine the best tools and methods the Global African Business Association (GABA) should use to help both your business and team grow and further your success.

 

The Global African Business Association (GABA) is a business support and business education group whose mission is to enhance urban development through trade and investment with Sub-Saharan Africa. GABA supports African-based businesses to help transform small urban communities into global communities with a focus on minority women based enterprises to enhance and develop their quality of life as well as presenting opportunities for both educational and economic transformation. In addition, GABA supports and represents business owners at the public policy level to help benefit business owners through professional development, business planning, marketing and matchmaking services. Our primary goal is to strengthen our local economy through the success and growth of our business community. Steps toward achieving this goal include providing networking opportunities, ensuring a political and legislative climate for business growth and development, supporting workforce development and business education programs in the community and developing community leaders.

 

Let me first say, that we love our work in GABA 100%. If you are new to this team, you will quickly learn that the team atmosphere and strong community spirit will be great assets to your business. Perhaps your new business is just taking off, and you are looking for ways to grow, or maybe you are the owner of a long-established business in our area, and you are finally ready to take full advantage of all the benefits that a membership will provide. In any case, we are excited about your decision to become an active part of our community effort to work together towards strengthening our local businesses and always looking ahead to the growth and development of our area. Your relationship with the Global African Business Association (GABA) will undoubtedly be one that will benefit you, but we too, will be made stronger by your leadership example in our business community!

 

Growth is a group effort. I sincerely encourage you to become a part of that effort through GABA membership.

 

The Global African Business Association is a business service association, and we are here to serve you. Please let us know if you have a need we can meet, need more information, have a suggestion or want to visit with us! Thank you for your support!
