What is the Disabled Businesspersons Association?

First launched in 1985, the Disabled Businesspersons Association (DBA) was later structured as a nonprofit, tax exempt, 501(c)(3) public charity and educational organization in 1991 to help disabled entrepreneurs maximize their potential in the business world, and to encourage the participation and enhance the performance of the disabled in the work force.

While there are many organizations, associations and agencies that champion the needs and promote better understanding of people with disabilities in the business world, the DBA is the first (the pioneer) to target the role of the disabled in business.  As a volunteer-driven organization of and directed by successful business owners, professionals and executives with disabilities, the DBA has the in-house first hand expertise to provide information, counseling, coaching and mentorship from the perspective of someone with a disability in today’s, highly competitive business world.
