WIBA RIBBON CUTTING & SOCIAL
WIBA turns 90 years old this month!
Time to celebrate 90 years of helping businesses be successful and our new space. You are all invited to our Ribbon Cutting on May 20th to celebrate our new location in the Ruffin Building. RSVP TODAY!
BUSINESS LIFE GROUPS
Our Business Life Groups are catching on and helping connect our WIBA members.
Jeff Longwell, Eck Auto Group, had a great Business Life Group meeting at the Wind Surge facility, Riverfront Stadium. While there, the Chief of Police, Gordon Ramsay said a few words about the Wichita Police Department and how we can help better the City of Wichita.

Again, the purpose of these groups is to gain insights from life group leaders and each other, strengthen connections and get fresh perspectives on your most pressing business questions.

Business Life Groups are open to all WIBA members and will represent different
areas of expertise.

Don't miss the opportunity to collaborate with other business leaders and build overall business health. To get involved with a Business Life Group, contact the WIBA office at 316-201-3264 or email us at info@wiba.org.

SHOP SAFE WICHITA
WIBA is sponsoring a new business initiative! Introducing Shop Safe Wichita, which has been created by one of our very own WIBA members, Dawn Keene. This campaign was spurred by the important initiatives of keeping dollars in Wichita while also keeping customers healthy by:
  • Bringing small local businesses and venues together to promote safety while shopping during and after COVID and encourage shopping local.
  • Building strength in our business community and local economy by empowering owners and operators across small to medium businesses by taking the necessary steps to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors, and customers.

For more information or how to get involved visit: shopsafewichita.com
