What Our Members Are Saying...

"I would like to say thanks for your efforts in helping other inventors. Simply having joined the IAA and having contact with you has helped rejuvenate me. It can be a most isolative, draining, and frustrating experience trying to do one's ideas alone, not to mention the many times I've wondered if I am crazy for committing myself to all this."

Joe Phillips, Phoenix

"I'm sure many people think I learned what I know and then started the IAA, on the contrary, my mother and I co-founded the IAA as a result of NOT knowing nearly enough and wanting a way to learn along side others. I can say without a doubt that the IAA is a major factor in my success and I thank God for giving us the opportunity to start such an awesome group and then learn so much from it! Thank you to all those professionals that were kind enough to come in and take the time to teach us at our meetings, I will forever be grateful!."

Lisa Lloyd, Tucson

The IAA has allowed me to network with some of the finest and brightest people throughout the country. I was just a struggling inventor, who had been scammed by one of those product submission companies. In my attempt to find answers, I came across the IAA web-site. All of the guidance and knowledge that I have accumulated since joining, has given me the opportunity to launch several successful products. I could not have done it without the IAA.

Tim Crawley, Snappy Grip, Inc., Phoenix

"The Inventors Association of Arizona is a great organization to be a part of, even if you are an experienced inventor or just getting started. You will find a good bunch of people, who can help you improve your knowledge and skills to market your ideas. Join the IAA and stay away from the companies that advertise on TV to help you. Save your $$$ and join the IAA."

Thomas K. Barnhill, SolutionEngineers Enterprises, Inc. 2003 SBA Veterans Advocate of the Year for AZ

"The IAA has been a great resource for me during the last seven years. I have found many contacts for marketing and manufacturing. I have also learned a lot from fellow inventors and the many speakers. I have even made some wonderful friends in the process. But best of all, the group has been supprt for me from inventing to taking my KangaRing cell phone holder to market."

Linda Anderson, KangaRing, Phoenix

History of the IAA -- In 1996, Susan Moore and Lisa Lloyd were two women armed with a great idea and a great deal of perseverance. While developing their product, they quickly discovered that resources and support for independent inventors were severely lacking. Their vision of a non-profit organization dedicated to helping inventors was soon brought to life. Through their efforts and the efforts of others, the group has grown.
