SSA provides a forum for the exchange of technical and business information to all members. At the annual convention, as well as through our website and newsletters we provides training on technical issues dealing with shop operation and safety. Business seminars contain instruction on industry trends as well as operational issues ranging from insurance to marketing.

Our annual convention provides an opportunity to sit in on lectures and seminars as well as associate with other members who are always willing to share their concerns and experience with fellow members.

Members also have the opportunity to associate with Suppliers and Manufacturers who join for the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with their customers.
