Halfway Through 2024 and FWAA Isn’t Done Yet
As of this writing, FWAA is officially halfway through 2024. What a year it has been so far. Our members are awesome. They engage, they participate, and they support! Y’all never cease to amaze us.
One of our favorite things to do is to host one of our many networking events. You know them better as Lone Star Awards, Business Exchange, Golf Tournament, Bowling Tournament and more. If those sound like experiences you are into, keep reading to see what the second half of 2024 looks like for FWAA and all the major events scheduled and ready to receive our members.
FWAA Business Exchange
Otherwise known as a reverse trade show, this event started right here in DFW many years ago when a group of AAGD and AATC members got together and came up with an incredible idea: what if the O/M’s and Managers were in a room sitting at tables. Then suppliers went around the room to visit them, like a trade show in reverse. Well, the powers that be were able to unite and create what is now a nationwide phenomenon. We can sit on our laurels, knowing it all started here in North Texas.
