Why is it important to become a member of the VDTA / SDTA?
Among the most common reasons to join are desires to share interests, to continue education relating to changes and progress in the industry, and to meet daily challenges. By joining with others, dealers can accomplish what they cannot do by themselves. The association exists to educate and promote independent sewing and floor care dealers in order to increase their marketshare and enable them to be more competitive.
