ABQ is #2 (Do We Try Harder?)

NM Biz Weekly Headline: Kiplinger's rankks Duke City second

Take a Q!-cation!

I was talking to someone who's lived in Albuquerque for a year - and she's never been to the Albuquerque Art & History Museum (?!)   And, how many people do you know who have never taken the Sandia tram? Or, never visited the Petroglyphs?  Or, never gone to any of our wonderful growers markets that are opening around town just about now?  Or, never done the Nob Hill Shop n' Stroll?  etc. etc.

"Buy Local" Is Bigger Than Increasing Our AIBA Membership

In a recent board meeting, we were discussing how to attract (and keep) more members.  More members mean more benefits,  more power to affect public policy, and more opportunities for everyone (including bartering, job sharing, price considerations, referrals, etc. etc.)We're at about 270 right now, with the goal of 500 by the end of the year.

Local Community Celebrates with Burque Blooming Bash

Just Sprinklers located on Montgomery just west of Eubank hosted AIBA’s fourth annual Burque Blooming event last week.

(NOTE: Some might remember a Just Sprinklers grand opening in 2008 at this location. Great memory. This was a repeat venue!)

Last Tuesday’s headliner, Fred Mondragon, Secretary of the New Mexico Department of Economic Development, spoke briefly about the importance of recruiting, retaining, starting and growing local businesses.
