The Southampton Township
Business Association (STBA)
Welcomes You!
WELCOME, and thank you for visiting our website!
ABOUT US
We're celebrating our 31st Anniversary!
The Southampton Township Business Association (STBA) is a not-for-profit business association. We exist to promote member-businesses within the community and amongst ourselves; to provide networking, advertising, and learning opportunities to our members; and to give back to our community in business-related ways.
MEETINGS
We meet the 4th Tuesday of each month, September through June, in a private room at the Red Lion Inn. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m., but several members arrive early to enjoy a drink and conversation in the lounge. Dinner is ordered individually from off of the menu, and a cash bar is available. Dress is business casual.
HISTORY
STBA was founded in September 1977 by Charles Wells, Mel Black, and Hector Irick as a way for business people to come together and have a voice in the future of Southampton Township. STBA was incorporated on October 24, 1977 as a non profit organization.
