ABOUT GBA

WHO WE ARE

The Ghent Business Association is a non-profit membership organization managed by a volunteer board of directors.

The association has been in existence for more than 50 years and continues to serve the community as a dedicated group of local organizations. There are many benefits to members including monthly meetings, cooperative advertising efforts, participation in community events, and participation in long-term plans for the Ghent business district and community.
