Vetting & Membership Approval

ASBN reserves the right to vet all membership applications to ensure alignment with our mission, values, and policy objectives. Membership is subject to approval, and ASBN may decline or revoke membership if an applicant or existing member is found to be in violation of these commitments.

Equity Pricing

Within the American Business community there remain systemic inequalities. ASBN/C’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 15% off annual membership fees for businesses and organizations that are BIPOC-owned/operated, women-owned/operated, or employee-owned. The goal is to create a more inclusive business community by reducing financial barriers to participation. If you meet the criteria, please self-select that in the form below. A member of our team will follow up with you after submitting the form to get the required documentation for this program, including a recent IRS tax form.

Equity Allies

As part of our commitment to making membership accessible to all, we’ve prioritized equitable dues and Equity Ally pay-it-forward options. Our equity pricing supports those who need financial assistance. Members can choose to become Equity Allies by contributing 15% or more help fund equitable access for others by paying it forward – because behind every success, there was someone who lent a helping hand along the way. The power of the network is the community we all steward together. In this way, members can support one another to have the same opportunities to thrive. 

Together, we are driving systemic change and shaping the future of business for a regenerative economy. Thank you for being part of the movement!
