Established in 1981
In 1981, a group of entrepreneurs in the greater Orlando area formed a professional business association with one another. Their goal was to simply collect and exchange business information among themselves. They began meeting once a week, exchanging stories, jokes, trivia, experiences, and referrals and it was then the the Industry Development Exchange Association (IDEA) Club was born.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: empower each other through our relationships with one another. With one representative from each business, trade, occupational, or professional classification, we help each other improve the possibility of business success through warm referrals, shared experiences, and building relationships.
Our Vision
Our vision is to develop quality relationships with each other and, through our business connections, advance and enhance each other’s business success - not necessarily by the number of leads, but by the quality of referrals.
Our Intention
Our intention is to contribute to the success of each member’s business, enhancing each other through collaboration, communication, connection, and community.
“The IDEA Club is remarkably inviting and friendly to new and seasoned entrepreneurs! I learn something new at every meeting and it’s a great way to find like-minded people in the Orlando business community.”
