Yesterday was one of those days that reminds me why I love what I do.


It started with our RBA Roanoke meeting, where we welcomed new guests and shared a quiet moment of reflection in honor of 9/11. We took time to talk about where we were that day and how it shaped us — a powerful reminder of the importance of community, connection, and resilience.


What I love most about this group is its versatility — we can pivot, speak honestly, and hold space for real conversations. And I’m especially excited that the Roanoke chapter has some amazing speakers lined up in the coming weeks. If you’ve been curious about what the Roanoke RBA is all about, now’s the perfect time to come visit!


From there, I headed to a leadership meeting, and then had the distinct pleasure of attending Ambassador Christina Solis’ RBA Alliance chapter. It was her first meeting for this group and let me tell you — it was FANTASTIC! I got to support a fellow ambassador, meet new professionals, and grow my business through meaningful networking.


Christina hosts meetings:

  • 2nd Thursday of the month at 11:30 AM at Rudy’s Country Store & Bar-B-Q in Alliance
  • 4th Thursday of the month from 4–6 PM at Hideaway Pizza in Alliance


If you’re looking to expand your network, build authentic relationships, and connect with driven professionals — make a point to visit one of these meetings. You’ll walk away inspired and connected.

We’re delighted to announce that starting TOMORROW Thursday, August 7 at 8:00 AM, our RBA Roanoke meetings will take place at a fresh new location:


Roanoke City Hall – Back Conference Room 500 S Oak St, Roanoke, TX 76262


Want to grow your business through real relationships? Want to shape your community alongside leaders and innovators? Want to be part of something better than a traditional business organization — leaner, smarter, and more heart-led?

This is your moment.


We're inviting ambassadors, founding members, and strategic voices to join us as we build the future of local business alliances. From spotlighting vendors to organizing networking mixers, this is where your influence meets opportunity.


And here’s what we stand for — our six core values:

  1. Personal Growth: Making a personal commitment to never stop learning and never losing the wonder of all creation has to offer!
  2. Mentorship: Remaining humble enough to seek mentoring and caring enough to mentor others.
  3. Servant Leadership: Leading by example and with a giving heart.
  4. Community Building: Committing to building strong relationships with Alliance Members, while helping support new members on their journey.
  5. Random Acts of Kindness: Seeking opportunities to brighten the day of those with whom you come in contact, encouraging them, and validating their importance!
  6. Strategic Business Alliances (SBA): Forging SBAs can be a game-changer for you. While traditional networking and lead sharing are good, ultimately our goal is to help you to learn to create and maximize SBAs through collaboration, partnerships, and trusted Relationships!

Our goal: to unite business leaders, city officials, first responders, and community champions to build something lasting — and we want YOUR voice at the table.


Together, we’re more than business — we’re regional impact in motion.

RBA IS ON THE RISE — AND WE WANT YOU WITH US!


Calling all business owners, community leaders, and change-makers in Roanoke and surrounding areas... something extraordinary is happening.


The Regional Business Alliances (RBA) isn’t just another association — it’s a growing force built on collaboration, connection, and character. And now, with our brand-new meeting space at Roanoke’s City Hall, we’re leveling up our impact like never before.


We’re delighted to announce that starting Thursday, August 7 at 8:00 AM, our RBA Roanoke meetings will take place at a fresh new location:


Roanoke City Hall – Back Conference Room 500 S Oak St, Roanoke, TX 76262


Want to grow your business through real relationships? Want to shape your community alongside leaders and innovators? Want to be part of something better than a traditional business organization — leaner, smarter, and more heart-led?

This is your moment.


We're inviting ambassadors, founding members, and strategic voices to join us as we build the future of local business alliances. From spotlighting vendors to organizing networking mixers, this is where your influence meets opportunity.


And here’s what we stand for — our six core values:

  1. Personal Growth: Making a personal commitment to never stop learning and never losing the wonder of all creation has to offer!
  2. Mentorship: Remaining humble enough to seek mentoring and caring enough to mentor others.
  3. Servant Leadership: Leading by example and with a giving heart.
  4. Community Building: Committing to building strong relationships with Alliance Members, while helping support new members on their journey.
  5. Random Acts of Kindness: Seeking opportunities to brighten the day of those with whom you come in contact, encouraging them, and validating their importance!
  6. Strategic Business Alliances (SBA): Forging SBAs can be a game-changer for you. While traditional networking and lead sharing are good, ultimately our goal is to help you to learn to create and maximize SBAs through collaboration, partnerships, and trusted Relationships!

Our goal: to unite business leaders, city officials, first responders, and community champions to build something lasting — and we want YOUR voice at the table.


Together, we’re more than business — we’re regional impact in motion.
