About RBA

Welcome to Regional Business Alliances (RBA), powered by Start A Network's powerful communication and membership platform and app. RBA aspires to be your go-to source for people to find and engage with networking groups throughout their region and beyond. The RBA app is FREE to all people who would like to meet other business professionals that attend networking events. This offers members the ability to communicate and partner with fellow business professionals not just from their own networks, but also with partner networks and business leaders from across the Greater DFW region!

RBA is creating an alliance of networking groups that support one another and utilize a common communications platform so business professionals can market themselves and engage with one another regardless of which networking group they belong! RBA’s mission and unique program is designed to take you beyond traditional networking to a deeper understanding of what it takes to develop Strategic Business Alliances that can transform your business and your life.

We believe we can accomplish so much more together! Ecclesiastes 4:12 — “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

  1. RBA facilitates its own local in-person and/or virtual networking groups using local ambassadors. To attend an RBA in-person event, participants must demonstrate that they have the RBA app with their profile filled out on their phone, or download it upon entering the meeting if it is their first time. This helps ensure better communication for all participants.

  2. RBA hosts virtual specialty networking groups, such as “Christian Faith in Action” on the first Monday of every month and the “RBA Power Hour” on the last Friday of every month for all participants. We look forward to adding several more online specialty groups from both RBA and our Partner Networks.

  3. Partner Networks are for existing or new networking groups that wish to use the RBA platform and app for communication purposes. This partnership provides exposure by marketing their events through RBA’s event calendar. It also features their network in the the list of networking groups! Partner Network members also have the ability to communicate and engage with all members - not only within their own group but across the entire RBA network.

    • This creates a win-win situation, as members use the same communication platform and gain access to the collective RBA membership. The only stipulations for partner networks are that all in-person networking events listed on our event calendar must be open to all members with no required fee. Additionally, to maintain consistency across the platform and allow members access to one another’s profiles, all participants must download the app and complete their profile to participate in networking events. The best way to ensure everyone is using the app is to check for the app and completed profile at the door upon entry.

Everything we do in RBA is designed to complement our 6 Core Principles:

  1. Personal Growth: Making a personal commitment to never stop learning and to never lose the wonder of all creation has to offer.

  2. Mentorship: Remaining humble enough to seek mentoring while caring enough to mentor others.

  3. Servant Leadership: Leading by example and with a giving heart.

  4. Community Building: Committing to building strong relationships with alliance members while supporting new members on their journey.

  5. Random Acts of Kindness: Seeking opportunities to brighten the day of those you encounter, encouraging them and validating their importance.

  6. Strategic Business Alliances (SBA): Forging SBAs can be a game-changer. While traditional networking and lead sharing are valuable, our ultimate goal is to help you create and maximize SBAs through collaboration, partnerships, and trusted relationships.
