Newsletter

LFA communicates directly to its membership with a weekly emailed newsletter that includes information relevant to local economies, new member introductions, upcoming events, and recent news pieces. Our newsletters are currently e-mailed to over 2600 business owners, consumers and supporters. Members are also provided with LFA window stickers so consumers are sure they’re supporting Arizona entrepreneurs. Sign up for our newsletter today.

Programs

LFA creates programs for members that includes printed maps, called Small Wonders; a festival called Certified Local with free food, live music and fun for families; and National Independents Week during which consumers are encouraged to buy locally for the entire week.

Advocacy

LFA works at the state level to encourage legislation that favors Arizona businesses in the state procurement process, and at the city level to streamline the process for the adaptive reuse of existing buildings that are the incubator spaces for entrepreneurs to open new businesses, which create infill and density. LFA also sponsors economic studies to prove local spending is better for our communities than corporate spending.
