CBNA is a non-profit organization dedicated to introducing you to other Christian business people. The ministry includes three primary features: THE NETWORK-a free online business networking tool Networking Luncheons-large "mixers" to bring Christians together for personal and business interaction Market Teams-an affordable way for you to have a marketing team dedicated to helping your business
THE NETWORK is available 24/7 and you interact at your convenience
The Networking Luncheons are usually once per month somewhere in the Greater Indianapolis area. We are now expanding to Howard County Indiana starting in July 2008. Their events will be bi-monthly or quarterly to start. You will always find the most up to date listing of events on our home page.
Marketing Teams meet twice a month for 1-1/2 hours
The price of each Networking Luncheon will vary from $10-$20 which includes your lunch. When we have an event sponsor the events will almost always be $10.00. For non-sponsored events you can expect to pay $15-$20 which includes lunch.
Marketing Teams are funded by the donation of the members. We ask for a $50 donation to join a team to help with the upfront administration costs and then give monthly as you are led by the Lord. To learn more about the benefits associated with the costs, participate in one of the Marketing Team Informational Conference Calls listed on the home page.
Absolutley! Attend one or all of them as your schedule permits. We do ask that you register for each event as instructed. All of our services are a la carte! You do not have to be a member of THE NETWORK to attend a Networking Luncheon or participate in a Marketing Team. All three of our services have their own benefits. Of course you will realize the most impact by engaging in all three.
Can I invite other Christian business people that I know to CBNA events?
Absolutely! CBNA is open to any Christian business man or woman. Be sure to send them to our website and have them register for the specific CBNA events that they would like to attend.
Yes! We have a couple of ways you can partner with us.
1. Event sponsorships: We need business people to underwrite one or more of the Networking Luncheons. Our goal is to have the actual food costs covered so that we can continue to keep the events around $10 per person. That money is to fund the expenses of the ministry. We do not ask for additional donations at the events. In return for the sponsorships, we list your business in several locations leading up to the event. Sponsors also have the option of speaking at the event. For more specifics send an email to info@cbnaonline.org with your name, company and phone number. Someone will get in touch with you.
2. Corporate Partners: As a 501c3 we also need businesses who would like to include us in their charitable giving plan. There are many successful business people who appreciate the challenges associated with growing a small business. Furthermore they look to support ministries focused in serving the body of Chirst within the marketplace. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, send an email to info@cbnaonline.org with you name, company and phone number. Someone will get in touch with you.
3. As an individual attending the luncheons is an important way for you to serve others and at the same time, make a small donation to this ministry. Additional if led, you are welcome to make a donation anytime which helps us grow both in size but also scope. You can give in two easy ways: Send your tax deductable donation to: CBNA 12458 Turkel Drive Fishers IN 46038
