ASBC’s Equity Pricing initiative acknowledges the persistent challenges that historically marginalized communities encounter when launching and expanding their businesses. To foster greater equity and accessibility within ASBN, this program offers adjusted annual membership fees for businesses and organizations that are BIPOC-owned, women-owned, or employee-owned. The goal is to create a more inclusive business community by reducing financial barriers to participation.

ASBN members can join one or more of our issue and impact-specific policy briefs, steering committees or amplifier opportunities. Work with other businesses and associations to activate change and amplify our collective voice and power in policy, advocacy to make an impact.
Members are kept informed with policy updates, expert insights, and engagement opportunities through issue-specific discussions. These meetings provide deeper analysis, helping you stay involved in key policy conversations without requiring extensive policy knowledge.
By serving on the Steering Committee, members and partners play a pivotal role in shaping ASBN’s advocacy efforts, amplifying business voices in policy discussions, and fostering a coordinated, action-driven coalition for sustainable business practices.
Amplifier quarterly calls are geared towards members who support ASBN’s mission but may lack the capacity for frequent meetings. They stay engaged through quarterly meetings, amplifying advocacy efforts, spreading awareness, and taking action when possible.
