FABRICATORS: HELP SHAPE OUR POLICY AND DIRECTION
 

ISFA's advocacy starts with the people doing the work. If you're a fabricator facing a problem, whether it's a regulation that doesn't make sense in a real shop, a safety concern, a supply or trade issue, or something that's hurting your ability to run your business, we want to hear about it.

Issues submitted by fabricators are reviewed by the American Countertop Manufacturers Council (ACMC), the consensus body that sets the priorities for ISFA's advocacy work. Your input helps determine where we focus, what we raise with lawmakers and regulators, and how we represent the industry.

When you submit, tell us what's happening, how it affects your shop or your crew, and any examples you can share. You don't need to have the answer figured out. That's what we're here for.

Please note: This form is for fabricator policy input only. Media inquiries should be directed to the media contact above.
ISFA ANTITRUST COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
 

The International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) strictly complies with all federal and state antitrust laws. All ISFA meetings and events are conducted for legitimate business purposes that advance the countertop and surfacing fabrication industry and serve our industry's collective interests. Discussions or actions that could be construed as anti-competitive are strictly prohibited.

This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Prices, pricing methods, or discounts.
  • Terms or conditions of sale.
  • Boycotts or refusals to deal with any company or supplier.
  • Allocation of customers, markets, or territories.
  • Any other topics that could restrain trade or reduce competition.
STANDARDS, CERTIFICATION, AND TRAINING

Where ISFA develops or discusses safety standards, certifications, credentials, or training programs, participation is open to all qualified industry participants; eligibility and criteria are objective and based solely on legitimate safety, quality, and professional considerations; and no standard, credential, or program will be used to exclude, disadvantage, or coordinate action against any competitor.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ADVOCACY

ISFA's advocacy for legislation or regulation, including occupational safety measures and any licensing of countertop and surface fabrication shops, is the lawful petitioning of government, conducted openly and on the public record, and is directed at public authorities rather than at private agreement among competitors.

If any discussion begins to move into a prohibited area, all participants are required to immediately stop or call attention to the concern.

ISFA encourages open, honest, and lawful collaboration to improve safety, education, standards, and professionalism within the countertop and surfacing industry.
