Let's Grow Your Business
Are you a designer, decorator, student, workroom, installer, or window treatment vendor? The WCAA was meant for you. If you're looking for community rather than competition, business guidance, real growth strategies (instead of just "good ideas"), and introductions to all the right people...
Join hundreds of professionals who call us their ally.
At the Window Coverings Association of America, our mission is to provide education, networking, a code of ethics, and increased exposure for this unique industry.
Our Community
We have chapters across the United States, making it easy for you to grow your business exactly where you are, join a supportive community, and learn from other experienced business owners.
Our belief in community over competition allows WCAA chapters and members to flourish.
Simplified Education
We believe growing and operating your business is full of enough challenges and that education shouldn’t be one of them. We’ll teach you how to set prices, market your business, and develop a professional client process.
Truly Helpful Resources
Our industry partners include popular window treatment vendors as well as highly vetted and reviewed non-industry companies. Whether you need tools and fabric, business coaching, or marketing consultation, WCAA industry partners offer these services and more.
The WCAA represents what is possible with hard work, dedication, and on-the-job education. It doesn’t matter where you come from - everyone is welcome to make a profitable career in the home industry!
