Collegiate Business Networking Association is a professional organization for Hampton University undergraduate students. Our focus is on forming relationships between business-minded students, and providing enrichment programs such as development seminars, conferences and conventions, and business-related social functions.
Founded in 2000 by Jonathan Carter, CBNA is designed to establish a forum for all students to be leaders in an organization that recognizes everyone's individual input. CBNA is currently a division of the HU Business Club, but beginning in January 2001, CBNA will become an autonomous, chartered organization and a member of the Business Students Association.
What makes us who we are?
 |
CBNA members interact directly with business leaders, local government representatives, University officials, nonprofit business organizations, and more. |
|
CBNA members have exclusive insight into the operations and management of their own organization. |
|
CBNA organizes special events such as discussions, travel, networking dinners, enrichment programs, and more... for members only. |
What makes us different from the rest?
|
We do not devote our entire operations towards fundraising. Although CBNA does have fundraising projects, they are secondary to our primary purpose - to provide members with valuable opportunities. |
|
CBNA has dynamic, enthusiastic leadership. We go out of our way to make sure our officers and staff are providing the level of leadership our members deserve. |
|
CBNA members stay involved. Unlike many other organizations, we do not recruit dormant members that are only seeking a resume builder. |
|
CBNA activities go above and beyond. When we do something, we do it right. Our officers make sure that all CBNA activities are well planned and worth their time. |
|
CBNA avoids bureaucracy at all costs. While staying well-organized, our focus goes towards the goal, not the process. Functions are always carried out quickly and efficiently. |
