Publications

STAFDA produces several publications to keep members informed of the latest in industry news, trends, and practices. 

Each month (except for November), the Trade News provides insight into the construction and industrial world, member news, Convention details, Trend Reports, and more. You'll find the latest issue of the Trade News in this section along with archived copies (with search capability).

Quarterly Advisories are written by STAFDA's endorsed Consultants who provide up-to-date and practical business information related to topics such as accounts receivable, finance, human resources, inventory, profitability,  technology, warehousing, and more. You can find the most recent Advisories under the Advisory section as well as archived issues.

STAFDA is a member of the Small Business Legislative Council (SBLC), independent, permanent coalition of trade and professional associations who share a common concern for the future of small business. Each week SBLC publishes a synopsis of events in Washington that potentially affect members: You'll find them here. 

STAFDA also is a member of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) who keeps our associate members abreast of important issues impacting U.S. manufacturing, including infrastucture, trade regulation, energy and climate, labor, and more. Each Monday, NAM's Economic Update is posted to the members-only section of our website.

STAFDA has hundreds of books, videos, and CDs on various business and industry topics in its Lending Library. Items may be checked out of the Library for a three-week period.
