Annual Clinic and Convention
Annual Clinic: Latest Technology exchange and peer networking
Annual Convention: Relax, Learn, and Network at beautiful destination

The Western Textile Services Association was founded in 1911 to serve the needs and interests of both industrial and linen supply owners along with those firms who are suppliers to the laundry industry. Today, with a combined membership of 150 laundries and 80 suppliers, the Association provides programs and services in education and governmental relations, as well as critical and current information including:

Annual Clinic and Hot-Topic Forum: This 24-hr Clinic is held on a Thursday and Friday every winter, usually in late January and features tours of 1 or 2 Industrial and/or Linen plants, as well as a Full Breakfast and Hot-Topic Forum, covering issues most concerning our industry today. The location of each clinic is based on which plants we tour that year.

Annual Convention: Our Annual Convention normally takes place in summer or early fall at a high-end resort destination. Traditionally, it is a 3-day program that provides business, educational and social opportunities for WTSA members. The schedule includes educational programs for members and spouses alike, optional tours, our annual golf tournament and special events every evening. Our Allied Trades members are an important part of this event and often sponsor a party or hospitality suite for members to enjoy each night.

Networking: Perhaps the most important benefit of membership in WTSA, is that this association is a forum; a network for members to dicuss mutual problems and opportunities, as well as establish friendships and business relationships. We want members to feel that they can reach out to WTSA staff as a resource for research and problem solving on any topic. If we can't help you, we'll find someone that can. 

Informative E-Newsletter: WTSA's Newsletter is e-mailed to members to keep them updated on upcoming WTSA events, as well as insuring they are as informed as possible with current happenings in the industry.
