FEDA just concluded one of its most successful conventions ever with a record attendance, at  Renaissance Esmeralda Rsort & Spa, Indian Wells, CA., with a huge dealer turnout. The FEDA convention has become one of the most significant meeting places between dealers and manufacturers in the industry.

At this last convention some important decisions were reached by the FEDA elected leadership that you should be aware of. As you know, the FEDA bylaws do not allow for an associate membership for non-dealer firms. Instead the officers and board of directors ask that manufacturers show their support for dealer based distribution in three different ways:

1.    Demonstrating dealer friendly business practices in the marketplace.       
2.    Advertise regularly in FEDA News & Views magazine       
3.    Attend the FEDA convention.
