About SEBA

History

The South Edmonton Business Association, previously known as the South Edmonton Businessman's Association, originated in the early 1900's. With the amalgamation of the City of Strathcona and the City of Edmonton, it was beneficial for the business community south of the river to form an association to deal with mutual business interests and concerns in this area. The Association has always been fortunate enough to attract excellent individuals to it's Board of directors and Executive positions.

The South Edmonton Business Association is NOT a Business Revitalization Zone (BRZ). SEBA does not receive any funding from the city. Its only source of revenue is from the sale of memberships.

VISION

SEBA's focus is to be the pre-eminent business association in Edmonton primarily by providing value-added services to its members and South Edmonton as a whole. SEBA collaborates amongst members to spur new ideas, foster business relationships and strengthen the business community in a fun and exciting environment.

MISSION

The South Edmonton Business Association is a catalyst connecting members from the business community to work together for the common good, with the aim of achieving personal and professional growth.

Program

SEBA invites guest speakers to monthly breakfasts / luncheons where members receive an opportunity to learn and to voice areas of interest, or concern, to their companies and to the membership.
