History
The IGA was incorporated as a not-for-profit trade association in 1995.
The association was formed to help independent glass dealers (automotive and
architectural) compete with the national chains (networks).
The IGA is managed by a paid staff of 1 and 5 volunteer directors. Since all of our directors own or manage independent glass shops, we are painfully aware of the problems our members are facing. The board of directors meets regularly to strategize how the IGA can turn the tide for independents. Our members are also surveyed often for their feedback. As one loud voice the IGA can represent our members' interests to insurance companies, legislative bodies, networks, suppliers, or any other entity that may affect business. The IGA also provides programs and services that will insure the success of independent glass dealers nationwide so that the business can be passed down to many generations to come.
