Membership Meetings

General Membership Meetings provide members with an opportunity to get up to speed with what is happening at the HBA of the Grand Traverse Area, discuss industry related information, garner new ideas and reconnect with colleagues.  Plus, we have a lot of fun!

General Membership Meeting Tabletop Display

Promote your company with a tabletop display at a general membership meeting!  You will be introduced during the HBA announcements where you will be given 1-2 minutes mic time.  Make the most of your display by having a prize drawing.  Collect names in a hat from people visiting your table and draw a winner during the evening drawings for even more exposure!  Although optional it is recommended to have a prize drawing at the end of the event for a prize valued of at least $50.  You will need to keep your display confined to your 6' table and you will be responsible for supplying your own table.  If you do not have a table, let the HBA know and we will assist you in securing one.​
