Memberships, Benefits and Current Offers

 
BABG Atlanta is the premier association for developing business networking opportunities, accessing business and trade information, and making social connections and friendships for executives involved in trade and investment between Georgia/Southeastern United States and the United Kingdom.

 

Just as our programs are tailored to meet a variety of needs, our membership is designed to meet all budgets. Annual dues range between $150 and $1,100. That’s what we mean when we say the BABG is inclusive, not exclusive.
