Description: On May 1st, 2010 local business people will gather to learn about the advantages of a Local Business Alliance. This partnership will help develop a “Brand Houston,” building trust in and credibility for local independent businesses. Activities will include setting up the framework of the Alliance and forming committees to create and support this organization.

The economic viability of the City of Houston and its surroundings depends on our locally owned businesses. When local businesses buy more from Houston based suppliers and increase the number of local customers, our region will become more self reliant. Local businesses link communities together and everyone in Houston benefits when the money we spend circulates through the hands of Houstonians.

The Business Alliance for Local Living Systems (BALLE) provides a framework which can be adapted to Houston’s local circumstances to promote

New sales connections between local businesses
An increase in local purchasing by member businesses
An increase in customers patronizing local businesses
An increase in contacts with other like-minded businesses
You and your business will want to be there to get in on the ground floor. You’ll have the opportunity to provide input and lend your expertise to create something that promotes and celebrates the uniqueness of Houston.
