MBA History/Mission
In the summer of 2016 a group of local Manchester business owners, residents and operators met to discuss the current business climate, opportunities, and challenges within the Manchester area business community. In early 2017, the Manchester Business Association (MBA) was officially formed. As a 501c6 non-for-profit Destination Marketing Organization its 11- member boards established a mission to promote and market the Town of Manchester and its businesses. This would be accomplished through the continued development of the website, manchestervermont.com; development of its Instagram and Facebook accounts; and other advertising, promotions, and events, all with the goal to increase the number of visitors to Manchester and in support of our local community.MBA Structure
