New this year! In these open forum meetings, members will discuss their challenges, goals, and new ideas related to their focus areas. All member types are welcome to attend! Being open to all members allows for open sharing with the ultimate goal of helping the industry continue making full-service distribution sustainable.

To meet the current, and, more importantly, the future needs of membership and the industry, the IAICDV implemented a new Division structure this year that will provide members a better opportunity to work within areas of personal or corporate interest. As a reminder, the new structure is as follows:

  • Associate Member Division: Manufactures their own product or has produced private label product, sold directly to Vendor or Distributor, or through a Broker, who sells product or services to the ice cream vending and distribution industry. (Never takes ownership of the product). (Previously Suppler and Broker Members)

  • Vendor Member Division: Distributors of product that sell to the vending trade, operates mobile vending vehicles (trucks, pushcarts, bicycles,) or distributes product to own fleet or independent fleet. Not DSD. (Previously Operator/Distributor I Members)

  • Distributor Member Division: Distributors of product that sell to retail or food service locations, including DSD. For those who fall under both vendor and distributor member categories, the company should apply as a distributor member. (Previously Operator/Distributor II Members)
