AIBA has a simple goal: To promote and support the independent businesses of our wonderful city! In other words, to think outside the big box.
Notice: Our apologies if you've been trying to access membership information or trying to join or renew online. Our Web site is now fully functional! We've moved the Web site to a new Web host due to ongoing problems with our previous hosting company. And, we're now planning a complete site overhaul to better serve you, including a much more user-friendly forums section and adding a blog.
"AIBA is an organization that gains value. There's credibility in learning from others and in consistency of events. Before I joined, I was unaware of the amount and type of people involved. As a small business owner it's a realistic expenditure." - Myra Ghattas, Slate Street Café
"Our mission at Office Alternatives is really to help other businesses to grow and be successful. And that's why I value AIBA. I've got a vested interest in keeping Albuquerque a truly unique place to live and good for business; AIBA's diversity of membership is great!" - Deb Austin, Office Alternatives
