We have invited Laury Hammel to speak to us about our new <b>Living Local</b> organization and how to continue to grow its membership and influence in our community.<br />

The SBN has grown to almost 1,000 business members and several Local First business networks. In 2001 Laury co-founded the national organization called the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) and for the first six years he served as its co-chair.
