Our mission is to build and strengthen our membership by providing a creative and fun environment for professional development, networking opportunities, resources and benefits to enhance business success. We encourage the highest level of integrity, ethics and professionalism.

TRADESHOWS:

Our annual regional trade show is billed as "the best one day trade show in the industry", and for good reason. This is your chance to see the latest product lines, unveil your own new products, attend educational seminars on timely industry topics, and network with your colleagues.
