Concerned Businessmen's Association of America (CBAA), founded in 1983, is an element of the Scientology movement directed at promoting moral education and "enhanced well-being" through the use of Hubbard's The Way to Happiness booklet in their Set A Good Example (SAGE) program, which holds children's antidrug contests and awards grants to participating schools.[1] The CBAA licenses the trademarks of the Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE). Their office is located in Reno, Nevada.
Media mention
In 1988, St. Petersburg Times listed them as "A Glendale, Calif.-based group of Scientologists that promotes drug-free living through its Way to Happiness book and like-named campaign, targeted to school-age children."[2][3]
In 1991, Time Magazine listed the CBAA as a Church of Scientology-linked group that "holds antidrug contests and awards $5,000 grants to schools as a way to recruit students and curry favor with education officials."[4]
In 1998, the Boston Herald listed them on an organization chart under "Groups that teach Hubbard’s management techniques".[5]
