CAWA/AAIA Affiliate Membership for Qualified Members

           

CAWA and our national association, the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA), have developed an affiliate program whereby qualifying CAWA members will also receive AAIA member benefits potentially valued at several hundreds of dollars. This program is designed to bring the smaller distributor, that would not ordinarily join AAIA on their own, the ability to participate in national benefits by virtue of their membership in CAWA. In turn, AAIA can attest to federal legislators in Washington D.C. that they represent hundreds of additional small aftermarket businesses through their affiliation with CAWA.

Here are the points of qualification for affiliate membership in AAIA through CAWA.

• The business must first be a member in good standing of CAWA.
   
• The business must have maximum annual gross sales of $2.5 million dollars (or less) and not be a manufacturer.

Examples of benefits through this affiliation to the CAWA member are:

• No additional costs to participate
   
• Receive AAIA member pricing on market research products and certain educational offerings, e.g., Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium and
  E-Forum training programs
   
• Can apply for AAIA scholarship funds
   
• Receive the industry’s Insider Magazine
   
• Receive national legislative, regulatory and industry information
   
• Receive a certificate of affiliation from AAIA
