Founded in 2003, AIBA is dedicated to preserving and improving Albuquerque's unique character by supporting the local, independent businesses that bring it alive - and "keep it querque. "

We support independent businesses directly through programs such as cooperative marketing, networking and branding the "indie" business image.

We also support the independent business community indirectly by raising awareness and educating consumers about the economic benefits of shopping at neighborhood businesses. With information at its website and in print, AIBA aims to help consumers understand the impacts of their spending decisions and to encourage them to shop local and independent.

Join AIBA and Become Part of A Nationwide Movement that recognizes the connection between a healthy local economy and strong, vibrant communities.

AIBA is a nonprofit corporation, incorporated in New Mexico in 2003, NMPRC # 2342475.
