I DA U N I V E R S A L M ay -J u n e 2 0 2 0 7 PRESIDENT'S POST Support our 2019 Gold Sponsors AMERICA I need to ask you something! What is the IDA to you? It is a formidable movement that started more than 60 years ago. It represents independent businesses around the world with the drive, commitment and expertise to provide solutions to customers who are looking for an alternative to the OEMs. * It is the A ermarket for Parts for Heavy Equipment. * It is any company who is NOT an OEM. * It is every company that came before us to provide an alternative solution to the OEMs. * It is every size and type of business that fi nds a way to impact our industry. * It is more than just a convention. * It is more than just a trade show. * It is more than just a website. Today, I am asking you to continue to be a vital part of our grassroots, dirt-pushing movement of independent businesses who represent the A ermarket for earthmoving and construction spare parts. Committing to the IDA is Easy and Inexpensive. Renew your membership!
