LBA Events

LBA Events provide our membership and supporters an opportunity to connect with an array of business owners, executives, community leaders and professionals in building a prosperous business network. Education and training also play an important role. In addition to LBA events, LBA Members and affiliates have access to a variety of events including expos, conferences, seminars, workshops and more on a monthly basis. LBA events and partners’ events are advertised on the LBA Calendar and eNewsletters (link to calendar archives). We encourage our members to participate in as many events as possible to expand and bolster their business network. LBA events include:

– Providing a stage for entrepreneurs to interact with companies of various sizes and obtain referrals and guest speakers to share business knowledge and experience. The LBA Networking Business Series 2012 enable corporate representatives to interact directly with members in a semi-formal setting.

– Connecting our members to new business opportunities with Corporate America. How does it work? We round up 50 to 100 business owners that are ready to do business with utilities, banks, hotels, etc. and fully-screen them to make sure they are ready to do business. The LBA charters a bus and in one or two days will visit three (3) companies to do business with. The three companies choose to host a breakfast, lunch, or reception to connect with their buyers. This is bringing the vendor to your doorstep.

– Providing a forum for our members to engage the legislative process, as well as to become informed on top issues that affect the Latino businesses in California. Our members will meet with legislators and network with a variety of government officials to discuss important issues that
California and its businesses face in the coming years. A luncheon and/or reception will be included, as part of the LBA Legislative Day.
