NAW is a very different kind of trade association. Our goal is to help wholesaler-distributors to be so good at what they do that no one else would want to do it. Our “strategic results” approach is short on time commitment but long on ROI. There are no trade shows to attend, golf excursions or committees to sit on. NAW is 100% focused on the business of distribution, and our unique position as the umbrella organization that represents the entire $5.7 trillion industry enables us to bring together the largest and best-in-class distribution firms to share best practices with their non-competing peers. Our meetings and roundtables are 100% business focused and are held in major cities for easy access to keep your time commitment to a minimum. Take a couple minutes to watch some of the 30-second videos below from your peers who outline the benefits they receive as NAW members.

Because NAW represents the entire $5.7 trillion distribution industry, we are in the unique position to continue to help distribution firms tackle today’s challenges while also identifying the channel disruptors of tomorrow. An NAW member told us: “We find our membership provides us a strong ROI and keeps us on the cutting-edge of what even the largest distributors like W.W. Grainger and Graybar are doing in the areas of talent management, technology, e-commerce, operational efficiency, and sales and marketing. It’s like having these company executives on speed dial as your board of directors and mentors.” To learn what your peers are saying about the benefits of NAW membership, watch the videos below.
