The MBA is a growing business membership organization
that works to support the businesses within Mishawaka. We
believe that a vibrant business community is healthy for the
community at large.

Historically, the MBA was primarily focused on downtown
Mishawaka, but within the past few years, the focus has
broadened to include membership from all of Mishawaka.
At the same time our outreach has included business from
the Grape Road and Main Street Corridors to the expanding
businesses on the city’s south side.

The work of the MBA  is varied but with a consistent focus of
promoting Mishawaka Businesses.  

The MBA sponsors various business promotion events each
year.  The main event is the Kamm Island Fest each July
that is produced with significant underwriting from the City of
Mishawaka. The other events include Annual Dinner and
Hometown Holiday.  But the MBA is not just about events,
we also hold monthly Business After Hours at member
businesses and seminars of interest to businesses and the
community.
The MBA is committed to
enhancing and
developing, as well as
promoting the
commercial environment
in Mishawaka. The
Central Business District
remains our primary
focus, but we are
committed to assisting
the business community
in the entire city.

Create visibility, find
marketing opportunities,
leverage your contacts
and build your referral
network! These are just a
few of the many benefits
of being a part of the
MBA!

The MBA consists of
many different
businesses, service
organizations and
professionals, who work
together to make the area
a better place in which to
do business. The
association is guided by
a board of directors and a
strong group of
committed people who
help the association
provide business and
community information
programs to assist its
members in building
professional and business
goodwill.
