When is it? 2018 IWCA Annual Convention and trade show – Feb 7-10, 2018.

Where is it? Embassy Suites Orlando – Lake Buena Vista South
Kissimmee, Florida.

What is it? A trade org with a Government level of connection and collaboration for the improvement and safety or the window cleaning industry.

Why should I join? Apart from the benefits outlined in their website http://www.iwca.org/ , joining an official trade association that invests back into improving the industry as opposed to one that is connected to a supply house or offers a ‘discounted club’ for profit is starkly obvious. One can help offer greater enhanced improvement to your business long term and at a Government level, the other can save you a dime on a squeegee rubber.

By investing into an official association, you are investing into your industry for the better of your business. You are helping to sustain and support an org that is not interested in profit or personal gain but an org genuinely interested in the industry. By all means join other associations – they offer fantastic business support and discounts/offers, speakers and classes. However, the IWCA must be top of your business list of choice if you are to care about the industry you work in as a whole ( if you don’t, that’s cool too).

There is nothing wrong with being associated to more than one trade show if you see value in it. Do your customers know the difference between an official org and a profit making only org? Sure they do and it speaks volumes about your business outlook.

If I were in charge of a bunch of buildings, I would want to give that bidding window cleaning business to the company that could demonstrate membership to an official, government recognised org first, above anything else together with other appropriate safety accreditations and insurance etc.! Period!
