Association Information
Association Activity : The National Barbecue Association is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit trade association that is primarily supported by memberships, so inside this column I want to discuss some recent membership initiatives I have launched.

First, with the blessing of the Board of Directors, I have appointed Butch Hofferbert of First Data Corporation in Tennessee, to become our national Membership Chairman and help us invite and recruit more barbecue members into NBBQA. Of course Butch is a marketing expert due to his professional background and work experience, and should be able to bring a fresh perspective toward growing NBBQA into a larger presence. If Butch contacts you, give him you ear and your assistance since he is trying to help our Association become more able-bodied and financially capable through more members, who may volunteer to help barbecue grow and prosper nationally. A trade association such as NBBQA works to improve the future business environment and quality of professional lives we all hope for, but it can only be accomplished if we work in unison and harmony. Butch is also a fun loving guy who enjoys cruising on local lakes in his new boat, so he understands the fun, comraderie and enjoyment surrounding barbecue as well.

Secondly, I am still pursuing and signing-up new State Representatives to liaison between the NBBQA on the national level, and stay in touch with what is happening barbecue-wise in each state of the union. I believe these folks will provide a vital communications link to NBBQA and potentially unify, represent and involve their states in our activities. We have been giving a lot of thought, and I have been personally making a lot of phone calls, regarding establishing this communications conduit. I want everyone to feel they have input and influence in the future direction of the barbecue industry, and for too long the distinct regional variations of barbecue have separated us. The competitive nature of barbecue is what nourishes competition barbecue cook-offs, but this spirit should not divide us when it comes to our mutual need and desire to promote and prolong the love of, and business of barbecue nationwide. Our state representatives will play an important part in uniting the barbecue industry through communications, cooperation and hopefully membership growth from a grass roots level. We are happy to have a number of volunteers calling us, but we hope for more. Give me a call at 765-491-0608 to see if anyone has volunteered to represent your home state, and then volunteer if there is a vacancy.

Several times I have been asked how do I sell an NBBQA membership? I always respond that each time I have personally done it, I was surprised how easy it was, plus the barbecue person I invited to join usually seems pleased that I bothered or even cared to invite them….because I was sharing as a fellow active member. We have plenty of tools to help you qualify for the contest. We have four color descriptive brochure
