A NOTE FROM WIBA PRESIDENT, ALICIA HOLLOWAY
For 89 years, WIBA members have supported each other by doing business with one another; offering referrals for new customers and sharing ideas, empathy and friendship. This support has remained consistent through times of economic prosperity as well as challenging events including war, the great depression, recessions and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
We need each other now more than ever. WIBA will begin resuming regular in-person meetings and events, and are exploring new smaller gatherings to provide members a variety of opportunities to connect with each other while learning together to help grow our businesses.
 
We are dedicated to advancing the growth of Wichita businesses because we believe that every business should have the opportunity to succeed. We look forward to seeing you at one of our July events.

Best regards,

-Alicia
