Overview
In 1913, a group of manufacturers concerned about current legislation and government intervention and regulation of business, formed the New Hampshire Manufacturers' Association. In 1970, the organization changed its name to the Business and Industry Association to reflect its diverse membership. However, BIA remains the New Hampshire affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers. Today, BIA represents nearly 400 member companies in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, high technology, software, professional services, financial services, health care, public utilities, hospitality & tourism, higher education, and insurance. Member firms employ over 100,000 people throughout the state, which represents one in seven jobs, and contribute $5 billion annually to the state's economy. BIA represents companies of all sizes in every region of the state.
