Join Madison’s Friendly Northside Business Community
Madison’s Northside is best known locally for the Dane County Airport and the former Oscar Mayer headquarters. Meanwhile, the Cherokee Golf Course - soon to be a TPC Network Golf Club - is putting the area on the national map. Locals enjoy catching a game–or a fly ball!--at the Mallards’ stadium, walking, biking, running or fishing at Warner Park, and chowing down on some of the Best in Madison BBQ joints and fish fries. Nature lovers enjoy the protected acres of Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park and Yahara Lake. All these fantastic amenities are helping make the Northside a magnet for new business owners! Many come for the lower rents after being priced out of the Downtown business districts. And they stay for the diverse and down-to-earth community and miles of accessible green space. Craft breweries, restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, and professional services signal the demographic shift. Even as the neighborhoods change, the Madison Northside Business Association stands clear in its simple, founding mission: to promote the business community of the Northside. It does this by bringing established business owners together with emerging businesses to benefit everyone. That means promoting fellowship and education among our members through regular meetings, as well as hosting community-wide events. And as the area evolves, we welcome more voices, experiences, and visions for what our neighborhood could become. We hope you’ll join us. What’s your vision for the Northside?
Why Join the NBA?
The NBA has long cultivated a community of business owners helping the Northside thrive. But as new members regularly join us, now’s an especially exciting time. We’re thrilled that our membership’s evolving to reflect our neighborhood’s diversity! And in case you’re wondering, there are tons of reasons to join us. First is the unparalleled networking opportunity. Promote your business services to other members, spread the word about what you do, and grow your referral network. You can even connect with city Alders through the NBA. Then learn about - and from - other business owners. Very often you’ll shorten your own learning curve, as you pick up the ins and outs of running a business on Madison’s Northside. Come to regular dinner meetings, and you’ll be among the first to know about new city and government initiatives. You’ll also get an insider’s view of efforts to promote Dane Buy Local and shopping the Northside. Last but not least, there’s the gift of fellowship to be had. Many friendships built in our meetings have lasted decades. So, we hope you’ll take advantage of the moral and peer support available at the NBA. Don’t do business in doubt, uncertainty, or isolation any longer. Instead, show up. Represent. And contribute your voice to the Northside business community!
