About IBA Global

United in their belief that international trade needs fresh, forward approaches, IBA Global founders provide a vision for global prosperity. Our unique partnership with the California Inland Empire District Export Council (CIEDEC) connects us to the council's export members, which have helped shape recent debates on the World Trade Organization (WTO), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Fast Track Authority and China Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR).

History
IBA Global’s roots are based on a proud 16 year history as the re-branding of the Inland Empire International Business Association (IEIBA). 

Understanding that associations, like companies, must evolve to meet the needs of the market, IBA Global’s new board of directors which is made up of likeminded individuals from private sector, education and government, unanimously agreed that change was needed in order for the organization to continue to provide outstanding support to the international business community.  The board also believes that past experiences and lessons can be used to identify and initiate new forward ways of thinking that would help shape the future of international trade.

Vision  
International trade is central to global peace and stability and to the growth and prosperity of all citizens. IBA Global will provide the vision and be the voice for its members to exercise leadership and influence the course of change.

Strategic Alliances
IBA Global is seeking strategic alliance partnerships with a wide variety of local and international universities, government entities, private businesses and trade organizations.

IBA Global also maintains a close partnership with the California Inland Empire District Export Council (CIEDEC). Appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, DEC members are advocates for small and medium-sized U.S. exporters. Active on the national and local levels, DEC promotes trade initiatives and has been active in recent debates regarding the World Trade Organization (WTO), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Fast Track Authority and China Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR).
