Established in 1938, NABCA is the national association representing the Control State Systems - those political jurisdictions that directly control the distribution and sale of beverage alcohol within their borders.

Our Mission
It is the mission of the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA) to support and benefit alcohol control systems by providing research, fostering relationships, and managing resources to address policy for the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol beverages.

In carrying out its mission, the Association has the following objectives:

• Research : To compile and disseminate information on philosophical, operational and societal issues for the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol beverages.

• Relationships : To establish and enhance relationships among the Association’s members, the alcohol beverage industry, government agencies and other stakeholders to promote ethical practices and to address issues and policies for the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol beverages.

Headquartered in the Washington, DC area, NABCA serves its members as an information clearinghouse and as liaison to federal, state and local governments, research and advocacy groups, the alcohol beverage industry, and other organizations impacting alcohol policy.

Management of the Association is vested in its Board of Directors with one director from each of the voting member Control Jurisdictions and a President elected by the Board annually. Day-to-day administration is the responsibility of a full-time President & CEO and staff.
