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. The CBAA licenses the trademarks of the Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE). Their office is located in Reno, Nevada.
