The Dallas Business Association was created in 1973 by a group of prominent Dallas business owners who desired to form an organization whose primary objective was assisting each other in promoting their respective businesses.

The organization was originally known as Dallas “Businessmen’s” Association because at that time there were few women owned businesses. Later the name was changed to the Dallas “Business” Association in order to reflect that its members also included women business owners.

In those early days the word “networking” was an unknown term, but as we all know, today networking has a place in the life of every business owner.
