About RBA
Welcome to Regional Business Alliances (RBA), powered by Start A Network's powerful Communication and Membership platform and app. RBA’s goal is to be the go-to source for people to find and engage with networking groups throughout their region and beyond. "RBA offers their members the ability to communicate and partner with fellow business professionals from not just my own network, but with businesses leaders from across the DFW Region and beyond as we expand to other regions across the Nation.”
- RBA is Creating an Alliance of Networking Groups that support one another and utilize a common Communications Platform so Business Professionals can market themselves and engage with one another regardless of which networking group they belong.
- RBA Facilitates their own Local In-Person and Virtual Networking Groups through our Local Ambassadors.
- RBA also hosts Virtual Specialty Networking Groups such as “Women in Business,” “Balanced Business Success,” and “Faith in Action,” and anticipates adding several more Specialty Groups and an Educational Forum for our members in the near future.
- RBA would love to Partner with Your Existing Networking Group! This partnership will provide Partner Networking Groups with exposure by marketing their events through RBA’s Calendar and Social Feed. This partnership will also give Partner Group Members the ability to communicate and engage with all members not only within your group but also within the entire RBA Network. Partner Networking Group Owners Earn Affiliate Commissions.
- RBA trains and develops Business Professionals and Entrepreneurs who wish to create their Own Networking Groups under the RBA umbrella, either as an Ambassador, or as a Partner Network. This is a win, win situation, as members utilize the same communications and have access to the collective RBA Membership. Regardless if you are an RBA Ambassadors or a Facilitator of a Partner Network, RBA provides the training necessary for network facilitators to be successful. RBA Partners and Ambassadors alike earn Affiliate commissions! RBA Partners can have their own Start a Network website to create and brand their own identity for free as long as all events are available to all RBA Premium and Founding Members at no additional fee. Although this option helps you create brand identity it also requires administrative responsibility for your own site instead of just relying on the RBA website for all your communication needs.
RBA’s mission and unique program is designed to take you beyond traditional networking to a much deeper understanding of what it takes to develop Strategic Business Alliances that can help transform your business and your life! We can accomplish so much more together! Ecclesiastes 4:12 "And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Whether you are looking to grow your business, expand your professional network, or find new collaboration opportunities, our alliance is here to support your journey. If you would like to start your own Networking Group or move your networking group under RBA’s umbrella to provide additional benefits for your group while earning Affiliate/Ambassador Commission for the services we provide, check out our FAQ Section!
Everything we do in RBA is designed to complement our 6 Core Principles:
- Personal Growth: Making a personal commitment to never stop learning and never losing the wonder of all creation has to offer!
- Mentorship: Remaining humble enough to seek mentoring and caring enough to mentor others.
- Servant Leadership: Leading by example and with a giving heart.
- Community Building: Committing to building strong relationships with Alliance Members, while helping support new members on their journey.
- Random Acts of Kindness: Seeking opportunities to brighten the day of those with whom you come in contact, encouraging them, and validating their importance!
- 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!
There are 2 membership levels in which you can become involved with RBA! Already part of another networking group? We have a membership solution for you as well!
