Founded by Christine Spray, The National Business Development Association (NBDA) is a national trade association for individuals whose primary responsibility is developing business for their organization.

NBDA’s mission is to help members, “Build relationships. Build Trust. Build Your Business.” The members of NBDA believe that in order to be a great developer of business, you must focus on others and their needs before focusing on yourself.
