An Inside Look at the Ames Business Community

February 8, 2019 | More than a college town David Bywater, ABI Chair, Bankers Advertising/Tru Art,

One of our state’s most important assets is the focus of this edition of Business Record Iowa. That asset is Ames and the incredible economic activity that is generated there and in the surrounding area.

Ames is also the location for the 2019 ABI Taking Care of Business Conference.

Make plans now to join your ABI colleagues June 4-6 for the conference. Fantastic venues, terrific nationally known speakers and the very best business networking anywhere will all be a part of ABI’s 116th annual meeting. You do not want to miss it!

With regard to other ABI business, February marks the eighth month of the association’s fiscal year. Thanks to your support and leadership, our association is enjoying one of its strongest years ever.

Public policy, Foundation programs, and ABI member meetings and events are all surpassing metrics of past years. Last month’s ABI Legislative Reception was the biggest and best yet, with more ABI members than ever before. In addition, more legislators of both parties and both chambers attended than ever before.

On behalf of the board of directors, thank you for your ongoing participation and support for ABI.
