The principal purpose of the SLBA is to act as a catalyst for physical, social, and economic improvements to the south side of Lansing.

The association meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month, and hosts luncheon speakers who address topics of interest to the south Lansing community.

The SLBA publishes regular email updates with Association updates, member news and community information.

In the spring of each year, the Association sponsors a Business and Community Service Person of the Year Reception.

We also sponsor at least one member mixer per year for our members and guests.

Operation Santa is a perennial project for the SLBA.

The SLBA presents a monthly Beautification Award to businesses that "Take Pride in the South Side" by maintaining their property.

The SLBA representatives sit on numerous city committees focused on improving the south side.
