National Small Business Association
The Washington, D.C., based National Small Business Association (NSBA) is SBAM’s national affiliate. It was founded in 1937 to advocate for the interests of small businesses throughout the United States.
This group, which originally consisted of just 160 small businesses, now represents more than 150,000 small business owners. Several SBAM members have served on NSBA’s board of directors and in board leadership positions.
