American Independent Business Alliance - AMIBA

AMIBA was founded in 2001 to build a movement that supports the development of locally-owned and independent businesses. The strength of AMIBA lies in the fact that it consists of more than 60 local IBA's with active leadership, representing over 20,000 small business members who provide crucial grassroots support; and maintaining the capability to deploy resources both nationally and locally. The vast networks of local businesses that comprise AMIBA support each other and contribute to the vitality of their communities. Our networks have promoted the terms “Buy Local” and “Local First,” and played a key role in helping those concepts and language become prevalent across the United States.
