Affiliated Bar Services

The Department of Bar Services was developed with the primary goal of cultivating relationships with the local and specialty bars around the state. MBA staff is in the process of developing a variety of projects and services intended to support the efforts of affiliated bars while strengthening relations among all of the groups.

Affiliated associations play a vital and irreplaceable role for the specific populations and communities they serve. There are currently 27 such associations with representatives on the MBA House of Delegates.
