We Are Open For Business!

Your Business.

EFWBA was created to give business owners a place to meet, to have a voice for the advancement, development and improvement of the infra-structure in East Fort Worth, to provide an atmosphere for businesses to interact and develop relationships for friendship, community and business.

Member of the Month: Ialeen Cole

I am a full-time residential REALTOR® who takes pride in delivering extraordinary customer service. I am dedicated to educating my clients about the real estate market and walking them through the step of the buying, or selling process. My reputation has been built on being honest, trustworthy and always having my client's best interest at heart, whether it's helping a first time home buyer, seasoned buyers upsizing/downsizing, or trying to get top dollar for my sellers. I am also a proud East Fort Worth resident of 20+ years now and I love to brag on our side of town! When I am not working, I love to read, cook and bake, and herd cats. I volunteer for the Meals on Wheels Pet Program and support animal rescues, as well as groups that address food insecurity in our community. It's great to be giving back locally.

Welcome To

East Fort Worth Business Association

Wanda and I invite every business owner, professional person, firm, corporation or non-profit organization, to join us for our monthly meetings where you will meet other business owners, individuals and city officials that influence our lives.

The mission is still the same today for this long-lived organization. It was founded in 1974 as a 501(c)4 so that it could be involved in non-partisan political issues. Working with the neighborhoods and Fort Worth City Government offices for the betterment of East Fort Worth sometimes leads to involvement in the political arena.

I hope you join us at our next meeting.
