Our focus is legislation, education and communication for the industry.

Are all apartment communities in the Mobile area required to be members of the MBAAA?

Membership in the MBAAA is open to companies that own, manage or develop multifamily rental housing, as well as those businesses that provide products and/or services to the industry. You can use the “Join the MBAAA” link under the membership tab and learn more about the benefits of becoming a member of the MBABAA. All of our memberships are company based, and you can join by printing out a copy of the application and submitting it with payment to the MBAAA office.

I’m a member, but want to become more involved. How do I do that?

The best way to make the most of your membership is to become involved. If you are a first time volunteer, consider joining a committee. Committees are lead by volunteers and help carry out the special events and background work for the MBAAA. It allows you to help the MBAAA achieve its goals, and also allows you to network with other members in a smaller setting. In addition to serving on a committee, the MBAAA offers many events throughout the year that are outstanding opportunities to network with your fellow MBAAA members. Make sure to check the calendar of events regularly to see what is coming up.

Where is the MBAAA office?

The MBAAA does not have an office. We hold our meetings at hotel and event spaces in the Mobile Bay area. You can contact the MBAAA via email at lindsay@mbaaa.org.
