ALCOHOL & DRUG TESTING CONSORTIUM—Helping you comply with DOT regulations for your CDL drivers, ILBSA’s program is cost-effective and convenient. Our partner, Indiana Testing, will come to your place of business, eliminating “down-time” for your employees, for random drug/alcohol testing, pre-employment screening, post-accident testing, and DOT-required random testing. Pre-employment screening tests provided to subscribers, as well as Supervisor training!
 
ILBSA MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY—All members receive the popular membership directory, full of contact information for associates, retail members, government agencies, legislators, and other information you use on a regular basis.  This statewide membership directory keeps you on top of who’s who, and where to go for products, services, and information.
 
EDUCATION “ONE-PAY” SUBSCRIPTION PLAN—ILBSA offers its members top-rated education programs each year. Instead of paying regular tuition fees per class, you can enroll in the popular “ONE-PAY” plan, whereby one flat fee allows you and all your employees to attend as many courses as they wish. This can save your business hundreds, even thousands of dollars annually, and assists in your annual budgeting process.
 
COMPREHENSIVE BUSINESS TOOLS—designed to save you time, money, and headaches. Whether you need proven collection letter samples, workplace policies, even contracts and other business documents, ILBSA’s extensive archives of tools, templates, and forms make your Association the “one-stop shop” for these business needs—from banking and finance to employee hiring...even tax forms. No need to call consulting firms or numerous government offices...call on ILBSA for real-time assistance. If you need ILBSA leaders to come visit you and your staff personally, we’ll come to you! Just call on your Association, and we’ll be there for you...right now.
 
THE BLAIR F. COLLINGS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM—ILBSA runs one of the largest scholarship programs in the industry, and you and your family members are encouraged to apply for our several annual scholarship awards, helping members’ families offset the rising costs of higher education!
 
ANNUAL SYCAMORE AWARDS and Annual Meeting—ILBSA members are recognized by the famous ILBSA Sycamore Awards which recognize individual and corporate excellence in the industry.  This mid-winter event is also a fun networking gathering which brings together Associates and dealers from all over Indiana!
