Membership Meetings

General Membership Meetings provide members with an opportunity to get up to speed with what is happening at the HBA of Northwest Michigan, discuss industry-related information, garner new ideas, and reconnect with colleagues. Plus, we have a lot of fun!

Meetings take place eight times per year and are hosted by an HBANWMI member at their business location or location of choice.

General Membership Meeting Tabletop Display

Promote your company with a tabletop display at a general membership meeting! You will be introduced during the HBA announcements where you will be given 1-2 minutes of mic time. Make the most of your display by having a prize drawing. Collect names in a hat from people visiting your table and draw a winner during the evening drawings for even more exposure!  Although optional, it is recommended to have a prize drawing at the end of the event for a prize valued of at least $50. You will need to keep your display confined to your 6' table. You will be responsible for supplying your own table. If you do not have a table, let the HBA know and we will assist you in securing one.​
