When and where we meet:

Check our events page for upcoming meetings and activities. As a result of our needs assessment study in early 2018, we designed a schedule that would accommodate all of our membership. We will hold meetings on various dates, at various times, so we may include all business owner members with scheduling conflicts. A member meeting is held on the 2nd Wednesday of the 1st month of each quarter.

Why:

The EEBA has been organized to promote the revitalization of the East Evans Avenue business community and bring our business community together.

Our mission:

The East Evans Business Association is an active community of business professionals passionate about creating a thriving business climate to recruit, retain, and grow our local businesses.

We facilitate communication and engagement between stakeholders –  including city government and other associations – to influence intelligent development, and city policy, and to improve the image and visibility of the community.

We invite collaboration from local businesses with ideas to attract more visitors, bring investments to our community, and help our businesses thrive in a time of rapid change for Denver.
