There is no chapter located in my area. Can I still benefit from HBA membership?

Yes. The HBA offers a number of benefits that are accessible no matter where you are located, including:

• Access to the members-only page on the HBA website, including an interactive membership directory for networking with your peers – you can use the directory’s advanced search option to see if there are other members in your immediate area.
• Access to the exclusive HBA Community which will allow you to add contacts, exchange best practices in the resource library, and join discussions with others in healthcare worldwide who share your interests
• A subscription to the HBAdvantage magazine (US addresses only)
• Discounts on registration to a variety of webinars on topics in innovation, healthcare trends, leadership development, career path development, and more
•  A number of volunteer opportunities (both chapter-based and global) that may be available virtually.
• Advance your career with access to post your resume on the Career Center or do a job search
• Enjoy discounts on job postings on the Career Center
• The opportunity to be recognized through volunteering and HBA awards.
• Significant discount on HBA Flagship events: Woman of the Year event and the HBA Annual Conference

If you feel that your region could benefit from a local HBA chapter, we would be happy to explore the possibility of starting a group in your area. Please contact Barbara Bull, director of chapter care, for more information.
