SIGN UP FOR OUR MAILING LIST
Several business leaders came together a few years ago, with the idea of building something that was missing in the South Florida area. We felt there was a need for a smaller, more responsive business association, an organization that would foster one-on-one business connections and growth, regardless of industry, sector or size.
We wanted an association that builds businesses, with transparency and integrity.
LABA is built around the basic value proposition that what is good for its members and directors is also good for the organization and for the community.
We also feel strongly that in this day and age businesses cannot afford to remain distant from public policy concerns. LABA has as one of its centerpieces a deep commitment to ensuring that our local, state and national government is responsive to the needs of our business community and that it maintain a fair business environment that promotes growth and competitiveness.
We welcome your participation in LABA and please know that your work with us will ultimately serve all our membership and South Florida as a whole, where we will play a key role in building the economic development process of our community.
William J. Delgado
President
• Implementing and strengthening programs that assist the economic development of South Florida firms.

• Promoting international trade between South Florida businesses and Latin America.
• To cooperate with other associations and organizations to advance the interests of the economic development of the South Florida business community.

Our audience includes entrepreneurs and the overall business community, comprised of small- to medium-sized businesses as well as large enterprises. LABA makes no discrimination between businesses based on size or ownership, industry or sector, and we also welcome international businesses that operate in South Florida.
Shortly after becoming a member of the Latin American Business Association, I realized that every month I kept walking into their monthly networkers and there were people there that I hadn't met. LABA has been a great boost to my business by providing quality speakers and quality members.
Thanks LABA!!

I've been attending the LABA networking cocktails since 2008. To this day, my book of business has grown by 20%, all due to my efforts with LABA. The association provides you with a platform of great speakers and a room full of business people, the rest is up to you.
