HOW WE WERE FORMED
The GVIBA was originally conceptualized in the form of a 'Buy Local' campaign. This was in response to a belief in the benefits of supporting the local economy and an appreciation of the individual charm, character and integrity of the Gallatin Valley
community. The 'Buy Local' campaign is still an integral part of GVIBA.
