MISSION
The Business Alliance serves as a strategic
alliance to help link CSUSB’s College of Business and Public Administration
(CBPA) with the community.
As stated in the Business Alliance brochure: The college seeks to
identify community needs, and helps satisfy those needs through its rich
resources of business knowledge, faculty, and students. The college becomes
better when it has an opportunity to hear from community leaders about how
CBPA graduates can be better prepared, or how employees in ember
organizations may benefit from educational programs with the college.
The Board of Directors for the Business Alliance
Members of the Board are asked to support the
missions of the College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) and of
the Business Alliance by annual membership in Business alliance, by

identifying opportunities for the CBPA to work collaboratively with
community groups, businesses and individuals. Members of the Board are to
help increase awareness and community support of Business Alliance by
providing the business and public administration connection between Inland
Empire business and governmental sectors and the CBPA.
