As the 3rd largest independent business alliance in the United States, the Santa Fe Alliance was selected by BALLE as one of four regional hub networks charged with coordinating the development of similar networks. Today, the Santa Fe Alliance consults with interested community, business, and government leaders throughout the Southwest, advising on best practices and assisting with implementation. The other three Regional Hubs include Local First in Grand Rapids, MI, Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia, PA, and Sustainable Connections in Bellingham, WA.
