WHAT IS MBASA?

"MBASA (pronounced 'em-BAH-suh!') stands for Master of Business Administration Spouse Association, but it’s so much more than just an acronym. MBASA is a vibrant community that offers support, friendship, leadership opportunities, and personal growth. It’s a place where members uplift each other, serve together, and build lasting connections."
