The strength of the Greater Valley Indpendent Business Alliance lies in its members. It is said that the power of a network is the square of its members. As more independent businesses join the network, the more synergy is created by their collaborative resources. When independent business unite, they begin to level the playing field when it comes to competing with large, out-of-town chains.
     We believe in a free market and open competition. We're not against the big boxes and chains. We're just for the local independent business. We believe there are many areas in which the independent business is superior. Especially customer service and value.

    The GVIBA network has 2 levels of membership. First is the business membership. Second is an Affiliate membership. An Affiliate membership is available to organizations. When an organization becomes an Affiliate, all the organizations members then can receive a disounted rate for their business membership.
