WAFD & LAFA Pursue Alliance; Merger Talk Delayed

John Wolz

The Los Angeles Fastener Association and Western Association of Fastener Distributors board have agreed to pursue a strategic alliance before proceeding further with the previously proposed merger.
The alliance is intended to expose the members of each association to the benefits of the other group.
Both associations will continue to offer member discounts at conferences, seminars and training programs to all WAFD and LAFA members.
WAFD and LAFA will hold a joint conference on March 9-12, 2005, in Rancho Mirage, CA. The conference will include educational sessions that will appeal to both organizations. E-mail: wafdhq@aol.com Web: wafd.org �2004 FastenerNews.com
