A message from our chairman

I would like to take a moment of your time to thank you for your interest in the Northern Cambria Area Business Alliance (NCABA) and to invite you to be part of what has become a driving force in the social and economic development of the communities surrounding the northern area of Cambria County.

The NCABA has grown from a handful of concerned professionals to 120 plus people from businesses and organizations, working together to revitalize our region.

We have facilitated strong working relationships with our local, county, state and regional government officials, working with them regularly on issues that impact all of our communities.

We have learned about various programs to assist our region grow and prosper. For communities, we have been connected to government and private agencies who can assist with municipal growth and promotion. For businesses, we have worked again with private and government organizations who can provide support for new business development and expansion for existing businesses. We have been staying on top of progressive plans that will change the way we work and live in our service area so we can better educate our members.

The NCABA has a forward looking goal of strengthening the relationships we have already established while creating our own strategies to discover solutions for those issues that often cause community obstacles , preventing us from growing both economically and socially. We are also committed to continuing the intra-municipal communication and outreach we are so proud to have created.

Please read the information contained in this brochure. It details some of our accomplishments and our plans for the future. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the group’s success.

There are many opportunities for our region, but we need your help. Please consider joining your neighbors in the NCABA. We welcome your ideas and thoughts but we especially need your help and support.

Join the NCABA. You will be in good company! I have included a list of our 2007 members and look forward to welcoming back all members and extending our gratitude to those of you who will be joining us for the first year. Your membership invoice has been included.

Please feel free to contact me for further information regarding NCABA membership.
