Celebrating its second anniversary in April 28, 2017, Alamo Ranch/151 Business Association (AR151BA) continues to open new doors for businesses while helping them make a difference in their community at the same time. Each AR151BA meeting is unique, offering business owners a chance to mix and mingle over lunch, enjoy evening cocktails, and take in advice from guest speakers who provide insight, tips of the trade, guidance, and more during the well-attended events. Topics range from tried and true marketing practices to how to make your business more profitable, customer friendly and productive. In addition to uniting businesses and professionals, encouraging networking, and opening doors for new opportunities, the Alamo Ranch / 151 Business Association continues to strive to give back to our youth and the community as a whole. When a business becomes a member, a portion of every AR151BA membership fee is be donated to a scholarship fund benefitting local graduating high school seniors from Warren, Stevens, Brennan, and Taft High Schools. Within its first year, $7,000 was awarded towards scholarships. In their second year an additional $7,000 will be awarded for scholarships. AR51BA is hosting their first Golf Tournament on May 4 , 2017 in hopes to provide more scholarship funding for the area and to expand opportunities for more seniors to apply for scholarships that may attend private or charter schools in the area. AR151BA vision is to provide venues to encourage building business connections and to encourage giving back to the community.
