CBNA business professionals networking at a Connecticut event

About CBNA

Empowering Connecticut's business community through structured networking, accountability, and referral-driven growth.

Our Story

Built by Business Owners,
for Business Owners

The Connecticut Business Networking Alliance (CBNA) was founded by Cesar Barros with a simple but powerful belief: local networking shouldn't be expensive, time-consuming, or boring.

After experiencing the frustrations of overpriced networking groups with minimal real return on investment, Cesar set out to build something different — an organization where every member gets genuine, trackable value from day one.

CBNA operates on a structured referral system with exclusive one-per-industry chapters. This means when you join, you're the only professional in your field within your chapter — guaranteeing zero competition and maximum referral flow.
