About the PBA
Established in 1981 as the Gay Business Association, The Pride Business Association (NSW) was the first LGBTIQ Business Association in Australia. It evolved from the need for a safe place for LGBTIQ business people to meet like minded professionals during a time when being LGBTIQ was still a criminal offence in New South Wales.
Who is the PBA?
The Pride Business Association is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to provide corporate and individual business opportunities to our members and their guests through regular networking, business, and social events, and the promotion of LGBTIQ professionals in the business community.
About the Membership
Membership is available to all members of the community, LGBTIQ and allies alike. We believe by encouraging a diverse range of attendes we increase the opportunities for you to benefit from your membership.
Membership is about putting your business in front of others, growing your network, and increasing your knowledge.
Investing in PBA membership provides you with these opportunities.
The more you maximise these, the greater the return on your membership investment.
