How to Join the NCHBA
"Every man owes part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged. No man has a moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve conditions within his sphere." ~ Theodore Roosevelt

"Even though our organization has been in Central Washington for 20 years, it, and myself were new to Wenatchee. We joined NCHBA to meet people and promote our services. Being a member has helped us accomplish both. The customers and friends we have made will forge business and personal relationships for many years to come."
Mark Evans-NCNB
"NCHBA is such a great organization to be involved with. By building relationships with other members, it's helped me grow my business and associate with others that have the same work ethics that I do."
