The National Association of Square and
Round Dance Suppliers was formed in May of 1975. The members are commercial businesses which provide apparel,
equipment, records, and many other speciality items which dancers require for the enjoyment of the activity. NASRDS
works closely with the committees for each National Convention, especially the Vendor Booth Chairmen,
and is responsible for the maintenance of the Exhibitors Seniority List for each National Convention.
NASRDS also provides counsel and assistance
to other organizations that may request their aid. They will assist
any square and/or round dance organization with recommendations for
festivals, conventions, or other dance related activities if
requested to do so. NASRDS has developed, with the assistance
and approval of the National Executive Committee of the National
Square Dance Convention, suggested guidelines for the administration
of vendor booths as far as the number, type, and arrangement of
space. These guidelines are also available to any local, district,
state or regional festivals or conventions at their
request.
NASRDS has a standing committee for the
investigation of and recommending a course of action on any complaint
received concerning unethical conduct of a commercial enterprise
involved with the National Square Dance Convention. NASRDS
strives to provide and assure honest representation, fairness and quality
service to the Square Dance community.
NASRDS represents a group of commercial
ventures who are self-regulating within their organization to insure
equality among themselves. Guidelines are subscribed to and enforced
for the benefit of all. NASRDS is an organization that works
very closely with the NEC in assisting them to expedite the
management of the vendors and vendor booths at the National
Convention. NASRDS has a letter of agreement with the NEC that
outlines the rights and responsibilities of the organization. Any
decision rendered by NASRDS is approved by the NEC before it
can be implemented.
