MENOMONEE VALLEY BUSINESS ASSOCIATION
The Valley Business Association started in 2002 to develop and strengthen business-to-business relationships, connect businesses with Valley neighbors, and promote economic growth. Today, it continues to serve as the conduit for peer networking, for updates on Valley developments, to build and grow your network, and the best way to learn about valuable resources for Valley businesses.
