The National Business Education Association (NBEA) is an organization whose efforts are directed primarily toward teachers of business and computer technology on all grade levels. One of its mottoes is "Educating for Success in Business and Life."

The NBEA has an executive office at 1914 Association Drive, Reston VA 20191-1596. Its web site is http://www.nbea.org.

The NBEA is administered by the NBEA executive board whose membership in part includes four officers (president, president-elect, secretary-treasurer, past president) and an executive director. In addition, the executive board consists of two representatives each from the five regions (Eastern, Southern, North Central, Mountain-Plains, and Western) and the president of each of its five regional affiliates. The executive board also has representatives from two organizations: National Association for Business Teacher Education (NABTE) and the International Society for Business Education (ISBE).

The official publication of the NBEA is the Business Education Forum, published four times a year (October, December, February, and April). The magazine has a publisher, assistant publisher, and editor housed in the NBEA executive office. The editorial policy of the publication is directed by the NBEA Publications Committee, composed of five business educators. The topic editors are business educators. During a recent school year, the editorial topics were accounting, administration and supervision, basic business and economics, entrepreneurship, communications, international business, keyboarding, marketing, methods, research, student organizations, technology, and NABTE review.

In addition to the Business Education Forum, the NBE Apublishes a yearbook each year as well as other publications.

The NBEA holds an annual convention that rotates from region to region. The convention program incorporates a combination of general sessions featuring well-known speakers, group meetings on a variety of topics, and workshops that often focus on computer topics. One of the features of the convention is a variety of exhibitions showing the latest publications, computer equipment and software, and teaching aids. Awards are presented to outstanding business educators recognized by the regional associations. In addition, the most prestigious award, the John Robert Gregg Award, is presented at the convention.

The NBEA has four categories for membership dues: professional membership, combination professional and ISBE membership, undergraduate student, and retired.
