Western Equipment Dealers Association

Formerly SouthWestern Association, merged Sept 1, 2014 with Canada West Equipment Dealers in Calgary, as Western Equipment Dealers Association. October 1, 2015 WEDA merged with Pacific Northwest US Association in Salem, OR. Western EDA is an association representing farm equipment dealers, construction/industrial equipment dealers, outdoor power equipment dealers and independent hardware retailers. We effectively support members’ day-to-day operations, help to recruit and retain employees through the employee advantage program, and create high impact dealer advocacy working with manufacturers, regulatory agencies and legislators. SouthWestern Association, founded in 1889, was established by a progressive group of independent hardware and farm implement/mercantile dealers to help increase their profitability and solve common problems. While the Association's scope of interest has evolved over time, the basic concept of working together for the common good remains the same.
