The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association is made up of 12 Affiliate groups from all across North American advocating for our industries—and fighting to protect them.
We know you want to run a profitable business for years to come. To do that, you need a clear understanding of your industry’s future. The problem is that many companies go at it alone and, as a result, miss out on countless tools that can help them build their businesses—not to mention getting blindsided by regulations that impact their livelihoods.
But we believe your business should have a clear path for growth and a voice in shaping government regulations.
HPBA Affiliates are 12 independent regional trade associations—one in Canada and 11 across the United States—that support and promote the hearth and barbecue industries at the local, state, and regional levels.
Our association is run by a dedicated national board and executive committee. You can click the link below to learn more about who they are and what they do.
We have a series of committees to help guide and shape the things we do—ranging from government affairs to our yearly HPBExpo. Click the link below to learn about each of them specifically—and view their members.
Manufacturer members in the same industry segments lead and fund specific legislative, regulatory, and consumer initiatives through our three product sections—solid fuel, gas hearth appliance, and barbecue.
