The Direct Selling Association (DSA) is the U.S. national trade association for companies that market products and services directly to consumers through an independent, entrepreneurial salesforce. More than 18 million Americans are involved in direct selling in every state, congressional district and community in the United States. In 2014, direct selling contributed more than $34 billion to the U.S. economy. DSA provides advocacy, communications and research for member company executives and forums for networking and educational opportunities. Our LinkedIn group is intended for DSA member company executives and suppliers to learn about association events and opportunities and register for meetings.
