Welcome to the USBA Power Up Program.
The goal of the MBA program is to educate new and experienced board members through USBA Power Up online training and active participation. The program is designed for members to complete one of the following sections per year: Strategic Learning, Continuing Education, Professional Improvement and Advanced Development. Once board members have mastered all four years, the Advanced Development section will be repeated for the rest of the board members tenure.
