North Beach Merchants Association
About Us

What is NBMA? What do we do?

North Beach Merchants Association is a non-profit mutual benefit association, committed to enhancing and promoting business throughout North Beach, beautifying and preserving our business district and neighborhood, striving to make North Beach a more inviting, enjoyable, safer place to work, live, and visit, and working with North Beach neighborhood groups to create a more healthy and attractive community of which we can all continue to be proud.

Our membership is balanced and diverse. It is comprised of many of the largest and well known restaurants and cafes in North Beach, and equally important we have numerous retail merchants, service providers, and professionals.

All types of businesses and business professionals are welcomed and encouraged to join.

How does the NBMA operate?

We are an open organization. We strongly believe that all our proceedings should be both democratic and transparent. We elect a new Board every year, insuring that a broad spectrum of the merchants have the opportunity to participate in the Association. The NBMA has regular monthly Board of Director meetings to which all members are invited to attend. We have bi-annual membership meetings as well at which our past six months’ work and proposals for future projects are discussed and evaluated.

We are a local network of business people and professionals, often neighbors and friends, we communicate, exchange ideas, and seek solutions for the betterment and improvement of our business district and neighborhood.

The NBMA has a variety of active committees devoted to solving problems in the North Beach Business District, including upper Grant, Broadway, and Columbus corridors, preservation and beautification of North Beach, protecting Washington Square Park, making our streets more attractive, cleaner and safer for visitors, residents and businesses, promoting the North Beach commercial district, having a voice in district entertainment event, undertaking special such as lighting in Washington Square Park, and encouraging a dialogue about the appropriate mix of businesses for our neighborhood We urge all members to get involved in these committees, and create new committees as areas of interest and concern evolve.

These committees as well as our regular and open meetings keep our Association dynamic and attuned to the pulse and needs of the North Beach business community and neighborhood. We also have a non-merchant advisory board that will advised and assist us in pursuing the above goals in an intelligent and thoughtful manner.

Membership in the NBMA gives you a real voice in North Beach business affairs whether you are a small or a large enterprise. We intend to maintain good communications and relationships with our elected representatives. Our concerns and opinions will be listened to at City Hall. And we regularly talk to other neighborhood organizations, we are a business association that takes pride in our relationships with other groups who are striving to make North Beach a more vibrant and friendly neighborhood in which to do business and live.
