Pennsylvania Wireless Association

Organizational Information:  The Pennsylvania Wireless Association is a not-for-profit corporation duly organized and validly existing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  While the PWA is not a tax-exempt entity, the Officers and Board of Directors perform their services on behalf of PWA as volunteers, without receipt of any compensation.  When necessary, PWA contracts for outside professional services (e.g. accounting and legal services).  PWA engages in fund-raising activities to underwrite, in whole or in part, social and educational events for businesses and individuals involved in Pennsylvania's wireless industry.  The net proceeds from such activities and events (after ordinary and necessary operating expenses) are then donated, as determined by the PWA Board of Directors, to charities and community organizations within Pennsylvania, such as the Penn State Children's Hospital and the Boy Scouts of America among others.

The State Wireless Association Program (SWAP) promotes the wireless industry and raises technology awareness at the state and local level. Individual associations are created under the SWAP umbrella to develop a local prescence for the wireless industry within the community. It is vital to the continued growth of the industry that there is a single force addressing local issues and responsibilites. Working together under SWAP, companies can cultivate and develop positive realtionships between the wireless industry and the community leadership. In addition, the Association serves to create and nurture the realtionships among the members of the wireless industry.

The State Wireless Association welcomes anyone involved in the wireless industry including, but not limited to, carriers, tower companies, vendors, services organizations, law firms, title companies, environmental companies, construction companies, network consultants, engineering firms, individual site acquisition agents.
