Working to Build Thriving Local Businesses
The
Mission of the Mile High Business Alliance is to build better community
through better business. We help people find and support local
business, and are building an alliance of local businesses who are
working together to build a stronger local economy - sharing best
practices, doing business together, and helping each other compete
against non-local business. We're not about 'business as usual,' but
are local entrepreneurs and community members who are designing,
influencing and building what's next. (read more about MHBA)

Local News and Events
Local Capital Summit - August 31
Our recent event, Partnering for a Thriving Economy, made two things very clear. First, we need real solutions and strategies for our local economy now. Second, our economy is in our hands. Therefore, we must work together to identify and implement those solutions to create a thriving local economy.
The MHBA is hosting a full day summit on how to moblize local capital now - including financial, human, and built/environmental capital. Now's the time to get involved in the Local Capital Summit, as a sponsor, presenter or participant. Learn more and register at www.LocalCapitalSummit.com
