DSBA was formed in 1997 by a group of Delta Charter Township business leaders who recognized a need for local representation. Through study of other successful business associations an organizational format was established. The first board of directors was elected and charged with the duty of building the organization.

Our current board members have taken this to the next level, with innovative ideas to the challenges of growth and local businesses networking toward a common goal. Membership is increasing at a rapid rate, as we continue to work toward that goal of providing a professional and positive resource for area businesses and government to work together and network with the primary intention of building a stronger economy and community.
