MABA announces launch of redesigned website

February 13, 2024 | MABA is proud to have recently launched an updated, streamlined and improved website at www.miagbiz.org!

The redesign of this site comes on the heels of the Fall 2023 launch of a revised online payment and invoice tracking system for MABA members. It’s part of a broader effort to continually improve, and ensure top-notch service for all of our association’s members and partners.

We look forward to sharing additional announcements throughout 2024 as we continue to streamline and grow our member services, outreach efforts and advocacy.

The new website:

  • Streamlines content, reducing old items and pages.
  • Provides a clear path to information about MABA programs.
  • Makes social sharing of MABA news easier, and more professional, across key social channels.
  • Ensures best practices for site security by updating the underlying code of the site.

Please contact any member of the MABA staff with questions and suggestions.
