Our Mission
Our History
The MBA was first formed in 1961 as a merger of four smaller business associations that were active in various parts of the city. Each association had the same goal in mind but were often competing against each other for members and in different promotions in the city. As a result the associations gathered together to form the Mishawaka Businessmen Association. For years the association’s focus was on downtown Mishawaka only and it produced Mishawaka Sidewalk Days and other smaller community and business events.
