“I’ve developed strong relationships from my involvement with the SMA that have not only impacted me professionally, but also led to lifelong friendships. We are very fortunate to have an association with a unique culture where members build each other up with mutual support, shared knowledge, and a collective commitment to elevating the stair industry.”

““The SMA has been a great support to our business just in the educational materials and specifically the visual interpretations. Those are always a hot commodity around our office as we seek to better our work and educate our customers. Once I started reaching out to the SMA with particular code questions it became apparent the importance of the SMA and how I could step in and bolster their efforts. The work of the SMA only betters our industry and it’s encouraging to know there are many other companies across the country like ours all experiencing similar challenges, but we are able to meet together and help one another.” RENDA BARR – ”

“The knowledge base within the SMA has had the biggest impact on me and my work. I appreciate being able to ask a member for help anytime and being able to teach fellow members something new.”

“Since my first encounter in 2004, the SMA has provided encouragement for me on many levels. Originally, it was support for entering the stair/rail industry as a small business owner. Over the years, it has provided educational support for methods of woodwork, design, and codes. The networking opportunities helped me share my knowledge and gain valuable relationships. Relationships that are more than just professional. Knowing from experience, I will have the support of my fellow members to perform the responsibilities set before me. Today, I am excited about what lies ahead.”
