The mission of the NBA is ...
To be the eyes, ears and voice of our state.
To protect, promote, enhance, and
strengthen the broadcast industry --
so that we can more effectively serve the public.

The Nevada Broadcasters Association was established in 1961.

We serve as an important information resource for Nevada's radio and television broadcast stations, addressing questions and concerns. We also respond to questions and concerns from the public, providing a better understanding of the role that broadcasters play in their communities and in their interest.

We seek to educate Nevada's local, state and federal officials together with other community leaders about the important broadcasting issues, concerns and challenges that we face.

Working with the National Association of Broadcasters, and the National Alliance of State Broadcasters Associations, we will participate when necessary in filings before the FCC; and we will meet with federal officials and other decision-makers when necessary in matters of concern to Nevada's broadcast industry.

We sponsor a Washington Legal Hot Line for stations with Richard R. Zaragoza, Shaw Pittman, L.L.P. We sponsor a Carson City Hot Line for stations with Josh Griffin, Griffin Communications Group.

We sponsor an Engineer's Hot Line for stations with Adrienne Abbott, Engineering Consultant.

We sponsor an FCC Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program for stations. As Nevada's Voice for Homeland Security, we are at the forefront in the ongoing strengthening of the Nevada Emergency Alert System and in the development of in-station Emergency Management Planning.

As Nevada's Voice for AMBER Alert, we are at the forefront in the partnership with law enforcement and the Nevada AMBER Alert Review Commission.

We provide a strong Public Education Partnership (formerly known as NCSA) Program.

We encourage men and women of all races and ethnicities to pursue careers in radio and television. We work with Nevada broadcast stations to achieve a diverse workforce. Toward that end, we provide student scholarships and sponsor an on-line job bank at www.nevadabroadcasters.org

We are dedicated to preserving the history of Nevada broadcasting.
