Letter from the President

National Shoe Travelers Assn. was formed as an association of and for wholesale travelers. Our original charge was to raise the awareness of what the traveler does, provide an education program, benefits that would otherwise be unavailable to individuals, and have a website which would serve as a central meeting place for information and conversation.

We have evolved into a very philanthropic organization which has done all the above and has added a college scholarship fund for our members, their children, and their grandchildren. We have also established a fund which provides emergency money in cases of disaster and hardships.

NST works very closely with TWOTEN organization and supports their overall footwear industry programs.

In our short history, we have come a long way to fulfill our goal of Travelers helping Travelers. Please see our list of benefits and see what a great value we are to our members. Please join, we need your membership and your input to continue our good work.
