We love working with IBA.  The entire team from member services to committee leaders, to the export service office are all extremely responsive and helpful when we contact them for support.  We use the On-Demand Learning frequently, the Concierge service is wonderful, and the IBA portal is not complicated to navigate.  We highly recommend IBA to other companies looking for an industry association to join.  The Burt’s Bees family is very happy with the level of attention, expertise and support received by the IBA team.  They are a great partner to work with! ”
