WBPA Services
The Warren Business & Professional Association
(WBPA) was established in 1995 for the purpose of promoting the businesses
of Warren and to encourage consumers to look within their own community,
and to their fellow neighbors, for all of their business and shopping
needs.

| The WBPA serves to establish
one voice for the hundreds of businesses that exist in Warren, in
becoming a cohesive group to promote the community and its vast array
of retail and professional services. Additionally, the WBPA affords
its members with a networking resource whereby they can form lasting
relationships with fellow businesses collectively promote their common
interests. The Association, in an effort to help its members network
and communicate important issues related to Warren and the business
community, hosts bi-monthly breakfast meetings that are free to members,
as well as open to the general public. |

Another WBPA-sponsored program
is the annual WBPA Directory. Highlighting important contact information
for all WBPA member businesses, the Directory is printed and distributed
free to residents as an insert in the Warren Showcase. It is also
available at WBPA member businesses and is distributed through area
schools. The WBPA Directory is a listing of all members and the products
and/or services they offer, including their address, telephone number
and website address. The Directory serves as an invaluable resource
for residents and businesses to create a link and establish long and
mutually rewarding relationships.

has donated over $100,000 back to the community by supporting area schools, sports programs,
civic groups, fire and rescue squads, and numerous charitable associations. In fact, the WBPA
donates all profits from the Association, it’s annual WBPA Directory and the Warren Showcase,
