Provincial Associations
The UFBA maintains a special relationship with our Provincial partners, who are unique members of the UFBA helping to represent their local regional members.
Introducing the Provincial Associations
The UFBA maintains a close relationship with our Provincial Association partners who, as Associate members of the UFBA, share common interests. For decades, the Provincial Associations have been the local outreach for the UFBA and many of our Officers come from Provincial Association executive roles. There are also Sub-Associations for some regions.
We share a common membership with the Provincial Associations and our Memorandum of Understanding sets out how we operate together, to support our members.
