Start a Community

USBG Community Affiliation Program

The first step to form a new USBG Community is to apply to become a leader using the New Community Leader Application.

  • Leaders must maintain an active USBG Membership. If you are not already a member of the USBG, you may select the "Member at Large" Virtual Community or the nearest USBG Community as your Membership Location when joining at www.usbg.org/join

Once there are 3 leader candidates or a National Program opportunity in your area, we'll reach out to schedule a meeting with USBG Staff. From there, we'll help create a Community Plan to send to the USBG National Board for consideration.

After receiving approval from the USBG Board, additional steps to getting a new USBG Community ready to hold events include:
  • Canvassing for Support in your Bartender Community
  • Completing 4 Hours of Leader Onboarding Training

Questions? Email Component-Relations@usbg.org or book a meeting with USBG Staff.

Please note: USBG Members and New Leader Candidates may not hold events, represent themselves as an entity of the USBG, or create social media assets using the USBG name without written authorization from the USBG Board of Directors.
