Our Mission

Since 1932

The American Bridge Association, Inc. members are committed to fostering an environment that stimulates competitive duplicate bridge card play while respecting the essential worth of each participant at every level of performance. We are committed to recruiting and retaining members of the ABA through a diverse agenda of educational programs and a comprehensive slate of games. The members of the ABA are also dedicated to encouraging individual members to upgrade their playing skills and perform at maximum potential while providing challenging bridge games in an atmosphere of respect, tolerance, courtesy, kindness, and friendship.

Promoting, protecting, and advocating the spirit of goodwill and positive interaction with local communities is a continuous goal. We recognize that our efforts are ongoing and pledge our commitment to creating the optimum settings for the play of Duplicate Bridge.
