Southeastern Vending Association (SEVA)

Originally formed in 1981 as the Vending Machine Association of the Gulf South (VMAGS), the organization’s purpose was to merge the annual tri-state convention held by Alabama Vending Association (AVA), Mississippi Automatic Merchandising Association (MAMA) and Vending Machine Operators of Louisiana (VMOL). 

VMAGS was officially incorporated in 1981 in Alabama.

In 2003, Georgia Automatic Merchandising Council (GAMC) joined the organization followed by Tennessee Automatic Merchandising Association (TAMA) and the Automatic Merchandising Association of Florida (AMAF). 

Due to the growing participation in VMAGS, the name changed to Southeastern Vending Association (SEVA) to include all its members.

In 2019, SEVA welcomed Arkansas Vending Council (AVC) to the organization.
