Leadership - Far West Equipment Dealers Association

All board committees are created to assist the board of directors to govern more efficiently. A board committee is not designed to do staff work. Committees are used to investigate, deliberate and analyze special issues on behalf of the board.Nonprofit and taxable business activities operate under the umbrella of Far West Equipment Dealers Association and its board of directors. New directors are nominated to represent the principal areas of the association, considering an adequate mix of the major suppliers, but most importantly, a willingness to serve.

STATE LEGISLATIVE LIAISON

Far West Equipment Dealers Association provides a comprehensive legislative and regulatory compliance tracking service customized for Far West members and their businesses. This program offers FWEDA dealer members with real-time access to proposed and pending legislation and regulatory actions across our seven states.

Association members serve as state legislative liaisons who monitor and report on legislative and regulatory affairs in their respective states, assisting FWEDA staff and the board, and other association members and industry partners as FWEDA continues to work with public affairs specialists to support dealer interests as they arise. State legislative liaisons are an important part of ensuring FWEDA remains vigilant in protecting dealer business interests.
