American Independent Business Alliance AMIBA
edit Description
Excerpted from the website:
- coordinates IBAs and others in two annual national campaigns, Independents Week (July 1-7) and America Unchained! (the Saturday before Thanksgiving)
- In 1997, two members of the Boulder, Colorado community—one a local independent bookstore owner, the other an activist and organizer—recognized the multi-faceted threat to communities posed by absentee-owned national and global chains evidenced, in part, by the displacement of locally-owned independent businesses to them. They put their heads together to devise a concrete, proactive means for helping the community preserve its character and ability to help its inhabitants. The first Independent Business Alliance was born.
- The initial sell was tough; being the first of its kind, the idea was untested.
