About Us

The Appleton Northside Business Association works to improve the business activity and the communities of North Appleton. We do this by offering a support system for our members, along with networking opportunities. We specialize in helping small to mid-size businesses as well as non-profits create awareness about their products and services. ANBA is working to organize events to help promote these businesses to the community.

We welcome comments and suggestions, and of course new members! To send us feedback, if you would like to volunteer, or if you have any questions, please email us!

Meet the people who make the North of Appleton so great!
