Yes. Being can serve as a noun, as the present participle of "be," as an adjective, and as a conjunction. Note, however, that when it serves as a conjunction (meaning "because" or "since), many educated people, perhaps most, consider it to be dialectical and objectionable. [Such constructions as "Being we were late, we missed the meeting" and "Being that it was you, I answered the phone" are often condemned as being unsuitable for use in standard English.]
