The West End Business Association (WEBA) of Alexandria, was formed in 2005 to unify, strengthen and serve the West End business community. WEBA members benefit by working closely with other local businesses, networking with local business owners and city leaders. Collaborating with each other and learning about the political process enables WEBA members to stay informed of policies, new businesses and ordinances that affect our business world. All members are eligible to participate on Committees (see Standing Committees page for contact person).
Building relationships makes our community stronger.
