Join MBA

Put your business on the town map! Your organization has produced a beautiful color brochure about Manzanita for the past several years and the map of Manzanita shows the location of each member business. You receive a minimum of 100 brochures with your membership. Now we have this very snazzy website with a link to your website and photo of your business as part of your membership. And the MBA has been the spearhead for a broad-based community calendar, useful for locals, second homeowners and visitors alike. Our members can review City plans and bring a business perspective to planning, zoning, and community efforts. We are a proud sponsor of the Oregon Coast Bird Trail, and other efforts to help people enjoy our local natural beauty.

Get to know other business people in our fair town and learn how a professional organization can be the key to a stable and well-run business district. Together we can plan events during the off-season, educate our members to be more “business-like” and do some creative group marketing and cross-referral.

Your membership – and active involvement – is critical to keeping the MBA active and productive.
