What We Do
The North East Canvas Products Association — NECPA — is a trade association dedicated to helping canvas-related companies do business with one another and to generating interest and demand for canvas- and other outdoor fabric-based products.
Founded in 1920, the North East Canvas Products Association is an affiliated zone of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI). NECPA projects and activities include promotion of the annual membership directory, regional education programs at the annual September Meeting, and the January Expo and Conference, which features new products and services, seminars, how-to demonstrations, and networking opportunities. NECPA members receive periodic newsletters and a membership directory. |
