ãWithout a doubt, the
one-on-one meetings are the highlight of the
annual event. Without these conferences, how
could one distributor ever envision making one
trip, a brief four day trip, and during that time
actually meet with over fifty member manufacturers
- all the important ones are there! Each meeting
in a private setting. This alone is no small
feat and always proves to be money well spent,
time effectively
utilized.ä | | | |
ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS
SHDA is the pioneer
in structuring private meetings between distributors and manufacturers
during the Annual Conference. Each member has the unique opportunity to
meet privately with up to 100 of their marketing partners. These
unique ãone-on-oneä sessions are the perfect opportunity to introduce new
products, discuss joint marketing programs, share marketing information,
and review how to work more effectively together. An incredibly
efficient format for all members!
EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES
SHDA brings to its
membership acclaimed speakers during the joint business session and the
Ben Silver Seminar, both annual events. Articles on management and
marketing are provided in the associationâs quarterly newsletter.
Members also have access to an ãInventory of Skillsä in which SHDA members
have volunteered to provide their knowledge and experience in a particular
field.
LEGISLATIVE FOCUS
Maintaining a fair
and competitive marketplace for this industry is one of SHDAâs goals:
The association works on its own and in concert with other industry organizations
to support legislation favorable to all security industry members. Legislative
updates are provided to members on an ongoing basis. Through its affiliation with the National Association
of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW), SHDA has a prominent
voice in Washington, working to promote the interests of its members.
INFORMATION SERVICES
Each member company
is listed in the annual publication of the SHDA Membership Directory along
with the respective key company data. Also included in this directory is
the "Inventory of Skills". SHDAâs quarterly newsletter highlights
significant industry changes and
keeps members up-to-date on Association activities. Surveys
completed within the membership provide important statistical and
financial data for purposes of benchmarking.
DISCOUNTED TRAVEL
Access cheaper airfare
and travel coordination (for SHDA members ONLY) with Uniglobe Wings Travel
These are just a few of the opportunities
available
