About NEHBA

NEHBA has been in existence for a little more than four years. In that time we have gone from an organization of half a dozen discussing and sharing information related to those six businesses to an organization with one hundred and twelve paid members actively working on issues covering an area of 418 city blocks and approximately 400 store front businesses with partnerships across neighborhood organizations, local government, community organizations and other business associations. Late in 2010, NEHBA expanded its borders further south from 48th Street to 62nd Street at the behest of those businesses increasing our business establishment coverage significantly.

NEHBA's mission is four fold:

1. Build sense of business identity
2. Strengthen relationship between businesses and local community
3. l Serve as an advocate for business owners
4. l Serve as a conduit between members and the City of Minneapolis to improve activity that assists in business development

With its mission in mind, the organization focuses on five strategic initiatives:

• Awareness
  Raise awareness of the 33 association’s businesses nodes and their offerings.
  
• Communication
  Optimize effective communication amongst businesses, the city and the community.
• Partnerships
  Build strong partnerships with others in the community and encourage businesses and other organizations to do the same.
• Sustainability
  Instill involvement and processes that assure a sustainable organization.
• Relevancy
  Connect the organization’s activities and output with what is important to its members and the business community at large.

To better serve our community and provide an online presence for our business members, NEHBA launched version two of experiencesouthwest.com, the only online directory for Southwest Minneapolis. We hope you bookmark this directory and use it to locate information and locations of restaurants, every type of service, schools, retail, automotive, churches, etc. and more!

NEHBA typically meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, February to November. Even months @ 7:30am and odd months @ 2pm. Meeting location to be posted each month. We do not meet in December and January's meeting is our Annual Meeting and Board Elections. Once a quarter, NEHBA uses its monthly meeting time to host a networking meeting for the business community.

Help us continue to address your concerns as a business owner. Email us if you have questions regarding membership or want more information.
