Your input can help us determine the types of program and events that would add value to your membership with HBA. It should only take approximately ten minutes to complete the survey.

HBA Chicago offers the unique opportunity to go beyond the professional connections and become a great personal network as well.

A new addition to the regular line up of the HBA San Francisco chapter’s programming is the HB8 Supper Club. While similar in name to the dine-around events, HB8 differs in that there is no speaker or presentation - just informal social interactions between you and seven other HBA members. Each dinner brings together a table of up to eight HBA members and will be hosted by a board member or a member from the programs committee.
