Message from the Executive Director
I am very excited to announce that recently IBA Global and Rauch International have signed a multiyear strategic partnership agreement which was unanimously approved by the boards of both entities.
This agreement, the basis of a strong alliance between non-profit and for profit entities creates a partnership which recognizes that the needs of our members can span between government, non-profit and for profit resources. IBA Global is the facilitator bringing private and government resources to the table, and Rauch International is the implementation arm that will utilize a vast array of third party resources.
Together, these two organizations along with other strategic partnerships that IBA Global has put in place, and is continually soliciting to best serve our members, bring a depth of strength, domestic and global networks, relationships, vetted resources, both private and government, as well as initial and on-going support services that are unique in the marketplace.
