GAWDA Member Testimonials
"More Value Than I Bargained For!"
Consultant Guidance and Advice
"I was almost embarrassed to show you our shipping paper, but
I knew it was better to have you point out the errors than DOT. Thank
you again for all of your assistance - it would be next to impossible
to try to keep this straight without you! I look forward to your
advice in the future."
Distributor General Manager, after free guidance and advice.
"After a recent acquisition, I needed to make sure our branches would
pass a DOT inspection. I hired GAWDA's Traffic Consultant to audit all
of our sites. He uncovered a surprising number of deficiencies, but when
DOT made a surprise inspection 2 weeks later, we were ready, and DOT's
report contained only compliments. I was relieved, and the branch managers
and their staff were pumped! A huge return on a small investment."
Distributor President, after on-site audit at low GAWDA rates.
Networking
"To be able to share knowledge with other suppliers openly, and to
obtain ideas for new strategies from the top Blue Chip companies more
than paid for the cost of the trip and my time. This was my first convention,
and I felt very welcomed."
Distributor President, after 56th Annual Convention.
Educational Programming
"I believe the ideas I learned are not only important, but critical
to my company's growth in this industry --not just physical growth,
but fiscal growth!"
Distributor President, after Spring Management Conference.
"Very interesting seminar. Extremely worthwhile -it exceeded my
expectations!"

upon the gawda.org web site. Because of the quantity and variety of
information available from GAWDA, I decided to join GAWDA."
