Why Join the OBA?
You get a BIG BANG for your membership investment in the way of advertising. All OBA events and efforts are publicized in the local newspaper and radio station WCRL, as well as on this website and our Facebook page and Instagram. We also promote events on the public access channel 70 of Otelco cable (aka "Our Town TV). By attending meetings and working together on projects, we network with one another. One business member may recommend you to another individual and that brings business to you! The OBA promotes local shopping and business! Your involvement is a win-win situation!
Joining the OBA is easy! Membership is $150 per year for businesses; $50 per year for individuals and non-profit organizations. The membership year runs from October through September. Membership paid in the middle of the year may be prorated. Just download and complete the Member Information Form and send a check payable to Oneonta Business Association to P.O. Box 1976, Oneonta, AL 35121, or bring it to a meeting and get involved.
On our Membership Form will you also find details on the Annual Sustained Giving partnership with the OBA. Click here to learn about each level of membership and its benefits.
Membership meetings are every first and second Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Meeting locations are announced on the home page of the website. However, during the summer months of July, August, and September, the OBA has one meeting per month on the third Tuesday.
Membership dues are used to sponsor events and advertising that will bring people to Oneonta to shop and see what we have to offer. Members are promoted through radio, TV, newspaper, and other media. The City of Oneonta also helps support the OBA with advertising dollars for local businesses! We also receive a grant through the Alabama Department of Tourism to help with half our website maintenance costs. Joining the OBA is the best way to stretch your advertising budget!
We encourage all members not just to join, but get involved. There is strength in numbers and we can make positive changes for our town if we all work together!
