As The Veterans Club continues to grow, we are always looking for ways to strengthen our programs and create more opportunities for veterans and first responders to connect, learn, and thrive. The Patriot Business Alliance (PBA) is no exception.
Over the past year, our weekly lunches laid a strong foundation for building relationships among business-minded members. Now, as we welcome more veterans and first responders into our community, PBA is evolving into a format that is more dynamic, more accessible, and better aligned with the lives of today’s working professionals.
We are excited to introduce the new PBA structure launching January 2026.
A New Format Designed for Growth
Beginning in January, the Patriot Business Alliance will shift to a monthly evening Business Mixer and a monthly evening Business Workshop. This new format expands opportunities for connection, learning, and collaboration while making it easier for entrepreneurial veterans and first responders to participate.
Monthly PBA Business Mixer
After-hours networking for veterans & first responders
5:30–7:00 PM | Rotating pubs, breweries, and community venues
January 7th, 2026 - 5:30pm to 7:00pm
The Bunker Bar
702 N Spokane St
Post Falls, ID 83854, USA
The PBA Business Mixer is all about high-value connections in a relaxed, approachable environment. Held monthly at local pubs and social venues, these mixers offer an easy entry point for younger veterans and first responders who want to grow their network, meet fellow entrepreneurs, and share opportunities.
Each mixer will also feature a Veteran-Owned Business of the Month Spotlight, highlighting the incredible businesses built within our community.
Monthly PBA Business Workshop
Practical tools. Real progress. Immediate value.
Once a month, PBA will host a focused business-development workshop, also held in the evening. These sessions deliver hands-on training on real-world topics such as marketing, business operations, customer development, goal setting, and more. Whether you’re launching your first business or expanding an existing one, the PBA Workshop will give you the tools and clarity you need to move forward.
Why the Change?
As the Patriot Business Alliance continues to grow, this new structure allows us to:
- Offer a more accessible, modern, and engaging program
- Better align with the schedules of working veterans & first responders
- Create higher-impact business value
- Strengthen recruitment and outreach
- Build a true community centered on growth, opportunity, and camaraderie
- Keep the program sustainable for long-term success
Our mission remains unchanged: to support veterans and first responders in building strong businesses, strong connections, and strong futures. The new PBA format helps us take that mission even further.

The Road Ahead

Stronger connections. Better value. Bigger impact.
This is the next mission—and we’ll build it together.
