Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to take a moment of your time to keep you informed on the latest happenings from your industry association.

 

A good bit of the work is completed within committees now which has increased our ability to accomplish more directives within each Board's term.  It also brings a wider wealth of knowledge to the work, ensuring that the efforts spent will be appreciated and valuable to a broader portion of our membership base.

With all of these industry volunteers, we are able to stay focused on three critical focus points from your Board: Education, Marketing, and Annual Conference.
Without the IBA, guidelines would not exist specifically for balloon decorators with respect to their use of photos online. There would be no effort to build a national marketing compaign (BRING BALLOONS) and no Conference providing beneficial networking and business education seminars.  There would be no gatekeeper of information answering questions from the industry, about the industry, for the industry.  

Much of the work is done behind the scenes but please know IBA is a year-round engine working for each of us that earns a living in balloons.
I thank you for your support and hope you will take a moment to read about the work happening now in each committee.

 

Warm Regards,
Elissa Mast
