• Local Membership Meetings offer the exclusive opportunity to meet with a trade resource, who leads a discussion of the products or services offered, presentations by manufacturers’ representatives, plenty of time to tour the showroom and examine samples, all in a congenial atmosphere, without the pressure of rushing to find a source for a client project. (Note:  IDS LA/Ventura Chapter dues are collected at each local membership meeting attended.)
