The excitement is growing for this year’s upcoming annual conference for the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) May 21st-23rd, with Denver being the lucky host city for 2009. If you are one of the millions of regular readers to the BetterBlog, you know how passionate we are about BALLE and everything it stands for, and it all started at the 2006 Annual Conference in Burlington, VT! Since then we have helped launch two chapters (Charleston, SC and Nevada City, CA), and now have a seat on the BALLE national board as well.
So, we can’t recommend attending the conference enough, there will be hundreds of amazing leaders from all over the country at the conference, all pushing forward the movement from Wall Street to Main Street, from industrial farms to localized agriculture, and to the countless benefits of shifting our thinking back towards our communities and supporting one another. Here’s a bit more information about the conference and how you can sign up:
