SouthWestern Association
www.southwesternassn.com
Founded in 1889, the
SouthWestern Association (SWA) was established by a
progressive group of independent hardware and farm
implement/mercantile dealers to help increase their
profitability and solve common problems. While the
Association's scope of interest has evolved over time,
the basic concept of working together for the common
good remains the same.
Today, the Association is a source for ideas to meet the
needs of member businesses. Working in the areas of
legislation, communication and education, the
Association is recognized as a stabilizing force that
encourages fairness in each of the industries it serves.
SWA effectively supports
members' day-to-day operations, works with members to
consistently acquire and retain the best employees for
their businesses, and creates high impact dealer
advocacy, representing members on key policy and program
issues. Contact SouthWestern Association at
