NEBA Tallahassee - Network of Entrepreneurs & Business Advocates

NEBA Tallahassee - Network of Entrepreneurs & Business Advocates NEBA is a diverse group of businesses, advocates and professionals united to promote the common good of business in Tallahassee.

The Network of Entrepreneur’s & Business Advocates was founded in 1991 when a diverse group of businesses and professionals originally united as the North East Business Association, Inc. At the time Capital Circle was being widened and businesses were being hurt by the lack of ingress and egress to their respective stores. Getting that fixed wasn’t easy, but they persevered and 30 years later, NEB

A is as strong as ever. NEBA today, has over 200 members, consisting of business owners, managers, employees and concerned citizens, who meet monthly to hear from speakers or candidates running for office. This dovetails nicely with the goals of NEBA which is to keep business people appraised of what’s going on in their community and to rally them when our collective voice needs to be heard. And NEBA’s voice has been heard on many occasions in the past such as when the county wanted to implement a new health care tax, or when the city wanted to increase the property tax millage rate beyond 3.7 mills or even in opposing the poorly planned Children's Services Council (CSC). When NEBA members show up to a community meeting, elected officials know they’ll hear the truth from those likely to be most impacted! NEBA is still the only business association in Leon County that will take a tough position on a controversial issue, and we don’t wait until the issue is about to be decided. Our volunteer representatives monitor all county and city commission meetings and agendas so that our members will be informed about the issues that are important to the business community. During election years, NEBA provides candidate forums on every important race from the US Congress, state legislature, city and county commission, Constitutional officers, school superintendent and school board races. NEBA also profiles Constitutional Amendment issues like Minimum Wage and Medical Ma*****na. If you want to be a part of a vibrant and astute organization that will educate you on issues confronting us on a daily basis, we encourage you to join NEBA today!

Thursday, April 30th: FAMU doesn't just educate students. It drives the economy, fills the talent pipeline, and shapes the identity of this city. When the university moves, Tallahassee feels it.

Nine months in, President Marva Johnson is moving fast. R1 research classification. Deeper federal partnerships. A national footprint in agricultural innovation, health equity, and workforce development. These aren't talking points. They're already in motion.

At NEBA's April Luncheon on Thursday, April 30th, President Johnson will share what she's accomplished so far, where she's taking FAMU next, and what it means for the employers, entrepreneurs, and organizations in this community. She'll be taking questions, so come ready.

This is the kind of conversation that only happens in this room. Invite your colleagues and register today.

Did you miss our conversation with Florida’s CFO Blaise Ingoglia? No worries, you can replay it here thanks to WFSU’s Tom Flanigan:

As a member of the Florida Legislature, and then the helmsman for the Republican Party of Florida, Blaise Ingoglia was never shy about taking a decidedly partisan view on the issues of the day. On February 24, he told NEBA members he continues that approach as Florida's chief financial officer.

At the February NEBA luncheon we heard from Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia. He shared his priorities to...

At the February NEBA luncheon we heard from Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia. He shared his priorities to redefine the Office of CFO, eliminate property taxes in Florida and defend tort reforms that protect Florida residents. We appreciate CFO Ingoglia's meaningful dialog with our members and guests.

Join us next month for a Legislative Recap with Brewster Bevis, president and CEO of Associated Industries of Florida.
