Founded in 2017, NWIDA aims to support and advocate for the interests of its members by providing resources, education, and a unified voice in the wireless industry.

History

NWIDA was established in 2017 by a team of long-time wireless executives in response to the growing need for a collective organization to represent independent wireless dealers. The association was formed to address challenges faced by small businesses in the wireless sector, including competition from large carriers and the need for industry-specific resources.

• Provide members with access to industry insights and best practices. • Advocate for fair policies and regulations that benefit independent dealers. • Facilitate networking and collaboration among members to strengthen the independent wireless community. Activities and Programs

Educational Workshops: Regular workshops and webinars on topics such as business management, marketing strategies, and technical skills.

Advocacy Efforts: Representation in policy discussions and lobbying efforts to influence legislation affecting the wireless industry.

Member Discounts: Access to discounts on products and services from industry partners.
