The purpose of the SBEA is to generate
business for members.
The
Shreveport Bossier Executives Association is
an exclusive and highly selective
Association of business leaders representing
leading area businesses. Each member firm must be committed to
helping other member businesses increase their bottom line
by
providing direct business, referrals, and business information.
In addition members receive from their fellow member’s
immediate attention to their needs and requests.
The SBEA, originally founded as the SEA in 1972, is a member
of the International Executives Association which works to coordinate
business with over 100 affiliate Associations world-wide. We encourage
our members to utilize and broaden their reach through the use
of internet communication.
Member firms represent
an exclusive business classification.
Classifications
are based upon a member’s main product
or service. Each firm is represented by its owner, C.E.O. or
other key executive decision maker. Members are pledged to the
highest business and professional standards and are recommended
for their competence, reliability and dependability. Our strength
is in our ability to network and promote our fellow members.
Our success has been the result of our leaders and members working
toward the economic growth of our community and making our members
inclusive in as much business as possible.
Member
firms receive both benefits and have a responsibility to
SBEA.
The opportunity to meet and establish business relationships
with executive decision makers in our community in a wide variety
of professions and industries are both valuable and an obligation
to each member. The SBEA gives each member over 100 senior salespeople
who are constantly looking for ways to sell each others services
and products.
Members enjoy an ongoing exchange of business information with
other top executives who recognize that they are not competing
for the same business. The exchange of information should be
treated as proprietary within SBEA.
Participation in SBEA means that we establish business relationships
and work with member firms in the spirit of mutual respect and
trust. Issues are discussed in an open and non-threatening environment.
Participation
is the key to success.
“Only
when you make deposits in the IEA bank of knowledge
do you receive dividends!”

The
SBEA meets each Tuesday at 7:00 AM until 8:30 AM for breakfast
and business. Regular attendance is a requirement and members
must maintain a 75% attendance rate for meetings and a 50%
or better attendance on open houses. Meetings are the primary
activity for the exchange of information and knowledge of current
and coming economic data. Summaries of meeting information
is emailed or faxed to members and direct leads are faxed on
the day that they are received. Members are encouraged to email
leads that are time sensitive as they are received to give
members every opportunity to use the information available.
Membership
is by invitation only.
Membership is limited to one firm in each business or professional
classification. Thus, each classification is protected and
competition between members is reduced to a minimum. A prospective
member will be screened as to possible conflicts and then invited
to attend a meeting as a guest. If interested, an Application
for membership must be completed and submitted for review.
