The Central Ohio River Business Association (CORBA) is powered by a diverse network of organizations and individuals who share a common goal — to strengthen and promote commerce along the Ohio River and its tributaries. Our members represent the backbone of river-related industry and advocacy throughout the Central Ohio River region, spanning from mile marker 356 to 560.

CORBA membership is organized into three categories:

• General Members – Companies whose operations are located on or near the Ohio River and its tributaries, or who have a significant interest in regional river commerce, such as inland shippers and freight forwarders. 

• Affiliate Members – Businesses or individuals who may not meet the General Member criteria but maintain a strong interest in supporting river commerce across the targeted region. 

• Associate Members – Government agencies, trade associations, and individuals granted honorary membership in recognition of their support for CORBA’s mission. 

Together, these membership categories form the foundation of CORBA’s strength and success. Each plays a vital role in advancing our mission to foster collaboration, economic growth, and sustainability along the Central Ohio River.
