Membership Cooperation The Greatest of all membership benefits is that of the exchange of ideas and industry experiences. By joining the Southwestern Ice Association you can build a network of friends in the business.
Education Opportunities SWIA promotes educational programs to further enhance the knowledge and competence of business owners. Improve and update your technical and business knowledge by attending the annual convention which features legislative updates, speakers on running an efficient business and other issues, and the opportunity to socialize and network with peers and industry leaders.
Supplier Expo SWIA offers an expo for members to get the latest new product and equipment information from industry suppliers. This expo is held each year during the annual convention.
Expert Team As a special incentive for new members, SWIA will send a team of industry experts at no charge to your facility to offer ideas and suggestions on ways to make your business more profitable.
