NEW PBA WEB SITE WITH MEMBER PORTAL -- COMING SOON!
The PBA has been working diligently the last few months on implementing a new database management system that includes a new website with an exclusive members-only portal. The new website will give members a detailed business information page that they can update themselves, including posting new member-to-member deals, public "hot deals", or job offerings at any time.
Other exciting features of the website include expanded Community Events and Business Help sections, an interactive map to locate member businesses, more prominent Business-of-the-Month and New Member highlights, and event photo galleries. We expect the new website to be live in the next 30-45 days and will keep you informed as the day gets closer. Members will receive their portal login information via email shortly after the site goes live.

PBA Event Reservation Payment Notice
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible support in attending our events! We appreciate your enthusiasm and participation in our workshops, networking and community events. In the past, the PBA has absorbed any expense for members who registered for events but were unable to attend for various reasons. Unfortunately the cost for holding events has increased and it has become necessary for us to change this practice. Going forward, the PBA will need to charge you for any reservation you are unable to fulfill unless we receive a cancellation notice 48 hours prior to the event. We are sensitive to the fact that last minute schedule challenge occur and we encourage you to send a substitute in your place if you find yourself unable to attend. For all PBA meetings requiring reservations and a meeting fee, we have always extended a "pay at the door" option to our members and guests and will continue to do so.Recently, we added the option to pay by credit/debit card via PayPal on the PBA website. This option will continue to be available as well. Again, thank you for your tremendous support! We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
