Madison, WI – February 28, 2020 – EZ Office Products (EZOP) is a Silver Level Sponsor of the upcoming American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA) National Conference, to be held April 22-24 in Madison, Wisconsin.

AMIBA is an organization that builds a strong local economy movement by supporting the growth and development of local business alliances. The upcoming event is a 2.5-day conference that will provide an interactive format for idea-sharing, skill-sharpening, and movement-building. Local business leaders from across the U.S. are expected to attend.

AMIBA provides support to help businesses and communities strengthen their community alliances.

EZOP President Rose Molz commented: “Sustainable business models have never been more important, not only in the Madison area but across our country as well. I am proud that AMIBA decided to host its 2020 National Conference in Madison, Wisconsin. It shows that this well-regarded organization recognizes our shared efforts to educate communities on the importance of buying local and how it affects the prosperity of us all.

“AMIBA is an organization that allows independent businesses of various industries to connect, learn from one another, and strengthen the “buy local” movements we see going strong in cities like Madison. Statistically, it’s proven that communities with sustained, strong grassroots local purchasing campaigns report more substantial sales growth — nearly double — than communities without one. I eagerly anticipate many forward-thinking business leaders gathering in one location this spring!”

Keynote speakers for the event are Kimber Lanning of Local Arizona and Paul Saginaw of ZingTrain.

All business leaders are welcome to attend. More details, including registration information, are found at www.amiba.net/2020conference/.
