The HBA Community (HBA Connect) is private and secure members-only online community, where members can connect with each other, participate in discussion, access useful information, contribute to the knowledge base and post questions to peers. It can be accessed directly by clicking here and logging into your HBA profile to access members-only content. You can also access HBA Connect by visiting the HBA website, logging into your profile, and clicking the HBA Connect link at the top of the page, which will open in a new browser window.

Once logged in, your home page will consist of easy quick links, designed to take you where you need to go. Along the center of the HBA Connect homepage is a series of links you are encouraged to explore. We recommend starting with the first box and exploring all of the communities you already belong to - often these are communities based on your geography or your volunteer role.

- Member Networks: Communities based on shared interests.
