Home Furnishings Independents Association and the
Accessories Resource Team are pleased to announce a new relationship in which ART members can join HFIA at a discounted rate as branch members.
All branch members will have access to the HFIA benefits and discounts.
This is an exciting partnership and we will continue to build other partner programming that will benefit HFIA members as well as ART members, said Sharon Davis, executive director of ART. HFIA has a long history and solid group of benefits for the independent business owner. They are savvy administrators and can deliver some of the core business benefits that ART does not currently offer. ART members will gain tangible and affordable benefit from this relationship.
The Accessories Resource Team (ART) represents accessory manufacturers, retailers, representatives, and other industry individuals and companies interested in promoting the decorative home accessories industry. The organization sponsors programs such as the ART conference, regional educational seminars and the ARTS Awards.
HFIA, the choice and voice of independent-thinking home furnishings professionals, offers business tools and solutions to help members operate more efficiently and, in return, more profitably.
It is an advantage to be able to choose an organization like ART to work with and to develop a relationship that highlights the areas of strength of both organizations," said Mary Frye, HFIA president. "Members and potential members of ART and HFIA will see more value in their association memberships because of the expanded and enhanced benefits. We are looking forward to the many new opportunities this relationship presents.
