• How much does membership cost?

  Membership in the HVBA costs $100 for the Standard package and $200 for the Premium package if you already have a Happy Valley Business License. $200 without a city Business license.

• What do my membership dues pay for?

  The HVBA is a member organization. All of our operating costs are paid for by member dues. This includes things like web hosting, bank fees, printing and mailing costs for meeting mailers, facility costs in case we need to rent meeting space, etc. We also periodically make contributions to city events like the safety fair, Fourth of July, and Java and Jazz.

• Why does it cost more if I don't have a business license?

  All businesses doing business in the city of Happy Valley are required to have a business license. In the past, the city subsidized some of the HVBA costs with a portion of the business license fees. One of our goals is to encourage businesses to pay their business license fees to the city.

• My company shows up in the directory, but I can't login. How do I change my information?

  The information in the directory was taken from information the city gathered when you paid your business license. We included this information because prior to May 1st, 2007, all businesses who had a business license were considered members of the Business Alliance. Starting July 15th, only dues paying members will be included in the directory. If you don't have a login, you must sign up to join the HVBA and pay your member dues by July 1st in order to be included in the online directory. JOIN NOW.

• I can't login. What should I do?

  If you don't have an email or a password, it probably means you haven't signed on to be a member yet. JOIN THE ALLIANCE and if you're still having trouble, CONTACT us and we'll try to help.

• Over what term does membership run?

  Membership runs from July 1st to June 30 and corresponds to the terms of the city's business license.

  Membership dues are due by July 1st of each year.

• Why should I join the HVBA?

  The HVBA offers a range of benefits. Connecting with fellow Happy Valley business owners can pay back dividends in the development of new client relationships. More important, however, to most of our members is connecting with a group of like-minded business owners who are giving back to their community. The HVBA is leading the way in business-community partnerships.

• Who else is a member of HVBA?
