Harry Rahman of Xpel, is a distributor member of the board and Abe Rodriguez of Accurate Tinting and Graphics and Jonathan Thompson of Sunsational Solutions represent the two newest dealer members of the board.

The IWFA board includes several working committees such as the Executive Committee, the Members Action Committee, the Technical and Standards Committee, the Manufacturers’ Committee, the Communications and Education Committee, the Non-window Film Committee and the Government Advocacy Committee.

Members of the prestigious body work voluntarily in support of the industry and offer counsel and insight on trends and industry standards. The IWFA is the largest window film trade association in the world and it includes the European Window Film Association as an IWFA chapter representing Europe.
