The Midwest Business Association (MBA) was born out of the desire to build business partnerships throughout the Midwest. Our goal is to build bridges and connect businesses while serving as a center of support and growth for businesses across the Midwest.  The diversity of our members helps to make the MBA a professional network that influences policies, promotes inclusion and instills business practices that increase business opportunities. We provide training and resources designed to enhance businesses and provides access to funding resources available to businesses through government agencies. The MBA aims to foster a thriving business environment for our members through relationship building, professional development, and community engagement.  The MBA was conceived with the idea that as business people we can best accomplish together what no one could do alone.
