CIOMA Membership Meeting – Wednesday, October 15, 2014

       

CIOMA members were alerted last week that our Government Relations Update meeting has been moved to Wednesday, October 15 to enable more members to attend.  The previous date, Friday October 10^th, coincided with the last day of the NACS convention, creating scheduling problems for likely attendees. 

The meeting location is the same - SC Fuels headquarters in Orange, CA. In moving the date we have also expanded the time of the meeting from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. allowing more time for discussion of important Government Relations items and priorities for the coming year.  In addition, we are allowing prospective members to attend, showing them the wide variety of issues and challenges we are addressing.

Highlighted topics will include:

·         CIOMA's 2014 Underground Storage Tank legislative victory (SB445);

·         Fuels Under the Cap regulations taking effect January 1st, 2015

·         California's new "Single Use" plastic bag ban, impacting fuel convenience stores on July 1st, 2016;

·         Status of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard regulations;

·         The defeat of several cost increasing measures on behalf of fuel retailers; 

·         Enhanced Vapor Recovery regulations; and,

·         the results of CIOMA sponsored legislation this year.  

 

Attending the meeting will be Jay McKeeman, CIOMA's Vice President of Government Relations and Communications, CIOMA lobbyist, Russell Noack and many of the members of the CIOMA Board of Directors and leadership. This meeting, generously sponsored by SC Fuels, is open to CIOMA members, non-members, and other interested parties.  Lunch will be served, but there is no cost to attend, only valuable insight to gain. Come see what CIOMA is doing for you and your industry!
