New UBA Communities are open for several special-interest groups within UBA. This new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for UBA Partners, makes sharing information, getting expert advice, and staying in touch with your peers easier than ever.

UBA has just added Communities for

• Account Managers
• ARUBA (Arizona Partner Firms)
• FLUBA (Florida Partner Firms)
• Metro Region
• Midwest Region
• New England Region
• Southeast Region

Each of these Communities has a special focus, but are open to all Partner Firm members.

Important note: There are also regional communities for Principals. If you have access to a Principals-only Community, please make sure that you're on the right Community before posting.
