Founded in 1976 by 18 industry leaders who sought to create an organization where manufacturers and distributors of construction/industrial products could interface. An independent rep agent membership category was added in 1998 and today, STAFDA is an international Association with over 2,100 members. We represent over 35 different product categories within the construction/industrial channel in addition to offering members a variety of educational and member services. STAFDA also has a large Convention & Trade Show each fall with educational workshops and a General Session, social events, and a 650+ booth trade show. Annual dues are $350, less than $1/day, the same as they were when STAFDA began in 1976.
