    About Us

    LIBA focuses on:

    • Informing citizens of the value provided by locally-owned businesses, including their importance to the local economy, culture, and social fabric. The goal is to encourage area residents to view themselves as citizens -- as members of a community rather than merely as consumers.
    • Offering group branding, promotion and advertising to LIBA members to elevate the individual and collective profiles of locally-owned businesses in order to provide marketing and exposure advantages chains routinely enjoy.
    • Creating strong relationships with local government and media in order to inform local decision-making and give voice to the locally-owned independent business community, and to promote policies that support community-rooted enterprise.

    LIBA is also responsible for the Buy Local First and 'keep Louisville weird' campaigns, publishing the Buy Local Guide twice a year, the Buy Local Fair (May), Louisville Brewfest (October) and hoLOUdays Contest (December).
