About IBN-DC

We believe that the wellbeing of our community and of our businesses is interrelated. Our goal is to form a pool of professional and service providers that the community can rely upon, thus expanding the referrals base to our members and guests.

We meet periodically for an informal gathering where members and new prospects share a light bite together, create new business opportunities and community activities while making new friends. Every month we invite an exteranal speaker or one of the IBNDC members to share with the group important information and insights relevant to any small business.
