Southwest Insulation Contractors Association (SWICA)
Serving the Industrial / Commercial Insulation and Abatement Industries
Southwest Insulation Contractors Association (SWICA) is comprised of industrial and commercial insulation and asbestos abatement contractors and their product manufacturers, distributors and suppliers throughout the southwestern United States. Specifically, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. Through professionally managed meetings, seminars, expositions, directories and publications SWICA provides members pertinent data and a valued industry network. The concept of association can be summed up in the three words “People Working Together”. The collective intelligence and voice of a group is greater than that of one company or individual. Unity of purpose and unity of action through associations will strengthen an industry and its members more than any amount of individual effort. The insulation industry faces ever changing regulations unique not only to this market segment, but to this gulf coast region. The pooling of ideas and sharing of information is an antidote to complacency and inadequacy in this arena. When people unite to work for common interests, the attitude of “What’s in it for me?” becomes “What can I do to help?” The result is respect, admiration, and a better sense of purpose throughout the industry.
SWICA Legacy Award
Every two years, the SWICA Legacy Award is presented by the outgoing President at the closing of the Annual Conference. The awardee is selected at the president’s discretion and is typically in honor of someone who has made a great impact on SWICA, the industry, and often the president themselves. The awardee’s friends and family are invited to attend the awards ceremony and celebrate with them.
