📸🏆 CBNA Founder & CEO Cesar Barros pictured with CBNA’s very first chapter, formed back in January of this year.

Fun fact: Most of the members pictured here are founding members of CBNA and were paying members long before we had any office space, structured meetings, or even a proven system for networking. 🚀

Even more impressive, most of them are on monthly memberships, meaning they literally have had the freedom to cancel at any time with just the click of a button. 💯

But if you asked, “Who here has received ROI or closed business since joining?” almost every hand would go up 🙌💵📈, with the exception of a few newer members who have only recently joined. 😊

These are the people who believed in the vision long before the value was fully built. 🌱🤝❤️

They took a chance, trusted the process, and helped lay the foundation for what CBNA is today.

At the end of the day, what matters most isn’t how much CBNA makes as an organization.

Our focus has always been and always will be on attracting QUALITY members, helping them succeed, creating meaningful relationships, and RETAINING them for the long term. 🤝📊🚀

Today, CBNA has grown into a family of 400+ verified entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals, but it all started with this group right here, who joined before we even had a website or a mission statement. 🏡❤️

Thank you, CBNA Newington, our very first chapter. Your belief, loyalty, support, and trust in this vision will never be forgotten. 🙏💙

You didn’t just join an organization. You helped build one from nothing. 🏗️🔥

A message from our Westport Chapter President: Christopher Crespo

“Another successful CBNA Westport Chapter meeting in the books! 👏

Today we had great conversations about professionalism, strengthening our industries, and how we can better serve our clients through meaningful relationships. It was also exciting to welcome a couple of first-time guests and introduce them to what CBNA is all about.

As leaders of the Westport Chapter, it’s great to see our community continuing to grow with professionals who believe in collaboration over competition. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to another productive meeting. Looking forward to seeing even more new faces next month!

One connection can change your business.”

☕️ Today, our Hamden chapter members decided to ditch the office and host their meeting at the amazing coffee shop! 🙌

First, we have to give a huge shoutout to Common Grounds for not only serving incredible coffee, but for delivering some of the best customer service we’ve experienced. ❤️

What truly stood out was the care behind every interaction. Every order was taken and delivered with a genuine smile, making everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. 😊

Our founder, , even mentioned that he had never been to a coffee shop where the customer service was just as exceptional as the food and drinks. It made a huge difference. 👏

The result? Our CBNA members left energized, inspired, and with new relationships that have the potential to become life-changing business opportunities. 🤝🚀

Our founder also had the pleasure of introducing several members who are now positioned to do significant long-term business together. Those are the kinds of connections that make CBNA so special. 💼✨

To top it all off, we welcomed even more new members into the CBNA family. Nothing makes us happier than watching our community continue to grow with incredible people who believe in collaboration, trust, and helping one another succeed. ❤️🎉
