·                    We are smaller than IDFA which allows for more relaxed, personal relationship-building time with our members – you won’t compete with hundreds of other people for the time of the person you need to talk to.

·                    The members of our association are the people who make the decisions and run the operations – upper management.  So whether you need to brainstorm with a colleague or meet a prospective customer – MDFA can provide a forum for you to do so.

·                    We have industry events that are designed to give ample “face-to-face” time with the members.  For example, our Annual fishing Trip, held every year in June, is a big hit with the members.  Past events have included a convention and a Golf Outing.

·                    MDFA can serve as an industry reference resource; answer questions you may have as we are members of IDFA and have access to their information.

·                    Member Programs:  Our Milk Tag Program offers quality tags that will save you both time and money!

·                    www.midwestdairyfoodsassociation.org is the association’s website providing up-to-date information on what is happening in the industry
