The Lincoln Independent Business Association has announced it has hired Travis Filing to be the new executive director of LIBA. He replaces Bud Synhorst, who recently resigned to start his own consulting business.
“We are very excited to have a person with the small business, political, media and sales experience that Travis will bring to the LIBA organization,” says Mark Whitehead, LIBA Board Chair. “As a current LIBA member, Travis knows what our organization is about, what our members want out of the organization, and how to grow and lead LIBA for the foreseeable future,” Whitehead said.
Travis and his wife, Shannon own Transformation Marketing, a real estate company and two other small businesses here in Lancaster County. Filing also brings a decade of experience in media sales as well as experience as an elected official.
“LIBA is a long-standing and well-respected organization with business owners, serving as a powerful force in advocating for the interests of local businesses and fostering a thriving entrepreneurial community here in Lincoln,” Filing says. “I’m excited to get started growing LIBA and representing our membership to move Lincoln forward as a great place to start and run a business providing employment and economic activity in our city and county.”
LIBA is an organization with 800 members representing small businesses before local government entities and the Legislature. It provides valuable networking opportunities and gives members a chance to meet important elected and administrative officials in the Capital City.
