LGBA: Powering Our Possible

What does success look like for you and your business? No matter your goals, the La Grange Business Association is here to provide guidance. Once you join our close-knit community, you’ll learn from like-minded individuals, benefit from greater exposure, and make long-term professional and personal relationships. But don’t take our word for it—we exist to serve our members. So here they are, in their own words, explaining the value of a LGBA membership. We hope you’ll join us.

We're Your Business Essential.

We have expanded our levels of membership so that you may select the benefits and amenities that are most important to your businesses. Standard membership dues begin at $250 per year and include an impressive package of benefits.  Once you register, your membership becomes active when your application has been approved and payment has been received. Please allow up to 30 days for your membership to become active. A membership is defined as one representative with up to two colleagues at the same location. Individuals who operate as independent, revenue-producing agents require their own membership.

Learn about the various membership levels and benefits here. You may register and pay for membership here.

The La Grange Business Association represents over 300 voices that speak in support of local business. We are a dominant presence in the community. We tell your story. And we give you the tools to respond to the cultural and economic shifts that are shaping the way successful businesses work. Our goal is, and always will be, your success individually and our success as a community.
