The Specialty Tools and Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) is a not-for-profit educational trade association comprised of distributors, manufacturers, and rep agents of light construction, industrial, and related products.
STAFDA membership also includes publishers of industry trade press (affiliates).
STAFDA was founded in 1976 by 18 industry leaders who sought to create an organisation where manufacturers and distributors of construction/industrial products could interface.
The 18 industry leaders that founded STAFDA contracted with industry veteran Morrie Halvorsen to serve as the first executive director.
Upon his retirement in December 1999, Georgia Foley assumed executive director responsibilities on January 1, 2000.
In the past 28 years, STAFDA has grown from the initial 18 founding members to 2,603 member companies.
Membership is comprised of 1,152 distributors, 1,126 associates, 21 publishing affiliates, and 311 manufacturer rep/agents.
Surprisingly, annual membership dues have remained constant at $350 since 1977, while services and programs have continued to expand.
STAFDA members enjoy a "buffet" of over 70 different benefits where they can pick and choose what suits their business needs.
STAFDA holds an annual convention each year in November for members to convene and take part in educational programs, seminars, and an exciting trade show that is always well attended by leading manufacturing, distribution, and rep agencies within the industry.
STAFDA's 30th Annual Convention and Trade Show - Technology and Consultants' Fair will be held November 13-15, 2006, and represents the 30th Annual Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas.
