Strength In Numbers Seminar: South Louisville

Strength In Numbers Seminar

Organizing and Inspiring Independent Businesses In South Louisville

WHO: You! If you are an independent business owner/employee, or simply a community-minded resident of South Louisville, we want you to be there.

WHY: Learn how the independent businesses that keep South Louisville unique and make the neighborhood economy strong can achieve greater success.

WHAT:  The Keep South Louisville Weird campaign’s goals are stability and growth of current independent businesses in the area, the start of new independent businesses and the expansion of current independent businesses from other areas of town into South Louisville.

We have made great progress in 2013 and we are taking it to the next level in 2014! Joe Grafton (Director of Community Engagement for the American Independent Business Alliance - AMIBA) will be our facilitator. The Strength in Numbers event combines a presentation and workshop that provides participants an up-close look at how other Independent Business Alliances function and the lessons AMIBA has learned through their experience of helping more than 80 organizations through the process. Our focus will be on building a culture of support for entrepreneurship, local branding, organization, funding, and much more. Plenty of discussion time is included, and AMIBA will work with us to achieve concrete progress in furthering our work.
