About NATA

The National Alliance of Trade Associations

Our Story

NATA prides itself on its affiliations with all 11 member Trade Associations. The Associations not only give back to the local community through involvement with various organizations, but by also supporting PartnershipsInAction, a global initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation aimed at alleviating poverty in the Third World while building an infrastructure of higher education, better health services, rural development, and civil society.

NATA also participates in annual tradeshows organized by the National Association of Convenience Stores, an international trade association representing more than 2,100 retail and 1,600 supplier company members.
NATA is dedicated to uniting Trade Associations across the United States to not only leverage the synergy of joint purchasing power and consummate National Deals with major vendors but also to improve the quality of life for our entire membership.
