Pride Counts to the Independence Business Alliance

David Schellenberg and Bill Gehrman talk about The Independence Business Alliance (IBA) of Philadelphia. IBA is the region's LGBT Chamber of Commerce promoting economic development and opportunity for LGBT-owned and LGBT-friendly businesses. The IBA also serves as an advocate of the LGBT community by working with other organizations such as the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. IBA is a member of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC); David & Bill discuss the benefits of being involved with the national chamber. They also talk about IBA's corporate sponsors including PNC Bank, Morgan-Stanley Smith-Barney, TD Bank, West Laurel Hill Cemeteries, LinguiSearch, PICO Energy, and Integrity Staffing. These are excerpts from a longer interview conducted by Thor Falk in July 2012. For the rest of the interview, please search IBA on the Pride Counts site.
