Affinity Groups

At BALLE, we know what it’s like to be the only one around who sees things differently. Here you’ll find like-minded, like-hearted peers from across North America who see the big picture in their communities, have an eye for spotting win-win-win opportunities, and the dedication to make things happen. Believe it or not, Alabama faces many of the same challenges as Alberta. By coming together to challenge and collaborate, our solutions are smarter, more creative, and more effective. 

Localist Leaders, Localist Champions and business members of Localist Champions can join Affinity Groups on the following topics today:

• Local First
• Community Capital
• Prosperity for All
• Better Together

These groups are largely self-organized but receive tools and resources to maximize their ongoing success.  

BALLE support includes:

• active list servs;
• optional self-organized group calls;
• BALLE facilitator to help get your group started;
• integration with BALLE Live! webinars; and
• a guide to effective group management, and more.

Plus, every group is encouraged to share their best ideas with the entire BALLE network.
