ABOUT THE NTBA Established in 1999 and
incorporated under the laws of the State of Kansas. The NTBA believes in a forward-looking, responsible approach to business
and public policy issues that unleash entrepreneurial spirit and make business more competitive in this new economy. The NTBA
believes that the best way to achieve this is by:
Mission
Advocating the improvement
of the economic environment and the quality of life for those who live and work in North Topeka.
Activities
Legislative Agenda: The NTBA will work with legislative leaders, business groups and professional
associations.
Outreach: The NTBA will serve as a liaison between government leaders and
the small business community. NTBA Board Members will be available to speak on important legislative issues, to attend events
with key policy leaders, and be contacts for the media. The Alliance will host meeting with elected leaders and candidates
in order to educate its members and the public. Such forums provide an excellent opportunity for candidates to demonstrate
their support of North Topeka and to receive useful feedback. The Alliance will offer to provide technical assistance during
policy formation, and its business members and staff will be available to sit on boards and commissions in order to provide
their North Topeka perspective.
Coalition Building: Though most of its members are small
businesses, the Alliance will also recruit individuals, academics, local and state associations and larger businesses that
share the organization’s philosophy. During important debates, the NTBA will be able to bring to the table its wide
and diverse membership, and build coalitions with a variety of other organizations and interests in order to facilitate broad-based
support.
