Bamar believes in supporting organizations that promote strong business ethics. This is why we are members of the following organizations:

	Local and State Chambers of Commerce Business advocacy at the Statehouse has been a top priority of the Indiana Chamber throughout its history. The Chamber seeks business input through its grassroots program, provides the leading legislative tracking service in IndianaNet and offers a video review of Statehouse activity through Inside Indiana Business with Gerry Dick.
	Indiana Manufacturers Association (IMA) Formed in 1901, the Indiana Manufacturers Association performs essential services for manufacturers - both large and small. Our goal has always been to preserve a favorable business climate for manufacturing throughout the state. And we're proud that Indiana continues to be one of America's leading industrial states.
	Mid America Plastics Partners (MAPP) In the 1990s, a group of processors gathered on a routine basis to discuss issues that were relevant to running their businesses. They were intrigued by how much they accomplished by focusing ONLY on processor issues. Looking to explore further what a united group of processors could accomplish, they incorporated the Mid-America Plastics Partners (MAPP) in August 1996 as a not-for-profit trade association. MAPP, the organization created BY PROCESSORS and FOR PROCESSORS, has since become the fastest growing processor group of its kind in the country.
	Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Every day the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) helps people and companies in the plastics industry succeed. How? By spreading knowledge , strengthening skills and promoting plastics. SPE is the only place where people from all parts of the industry can come together around important issues and technologies. SPE’s contribution to the plastics industry for over 60 years has made a significant difference to the technologies and innovations the industry enjoys today. In the process, we've developed a 20,000-member network of leading engineers, scientists and other plastics professionals, including technicians, salespeople, marketers, retailers and representatives from tertiary industries.
	American Society for Quality (ASQ) ASQ is the world’s leading membership organization devoted to quality. We have the knowledge, tools, expertise and resources to inspire you and your organization. Join ASQ and we’ll help you Make Good Great®.
	Manufacturers Agents National Association (MANA) MANA has functioned as a horizontal organization for reps and their principals, offering membership to any firm that is willing to ascribe to our Code of Ethics. We feel that we’ve had a positive impact on the unique relationship that is the rep/principal method of going to market. While our sister associations also promote this business partnership approach to marketing, they have tended to do so on a targeted basis, expending their resources in a given industry or geographic market. MANA has, and will continue to focus on the broader picture of education, making its presence known at the state, national, and international levels. At the same time, MANA lends its support to these sister organizations and helps fund the Manufacturers’ Representative Educational Research Foundation (MRERF) in education regarding the profession.
