ISSA, Northbrook, IL, the worldwide cleaning industry association, and the National Cleaning Suppliers Association, Sydney, Australia, have agreed to merge.

Under terms of the agreement, NCSA members will retain their NCSA memberships on a local level, but those memberships will expand to include global ISSA membership and benefits.

“This will allow NCSA members to truly become part of the global cleaning industry, and it will deliver real value to our members by providing them with access to ISSA’s education programs, trade shows, networking, certification guidelines, regulatory information, and much more," says NCSA president Stuart Nicol.
