Last month, CIOMA co-hosted 2 of the 16 NACS Industry Update Luncheons held around the country at two locations in (Northern and Southern) California. The first one was held on January 21 at the Holiday Inn in Sacramento, CA and the second on January 23, at the Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. NACS President and CEO Henry (Hank) Armour shared and discussed insights, issues and opportunities relevant to the convenience and fuel industry retailers and suppliers.
Both industry luncheons were very well attended. CIOMA’s EVP, Julia McCann along with Jay McKeeman, VP of Government Relations and Communications, Catherina "Trina" Isidro, Director of Operations, Member and Program Services and a few of CIOMA’s members were all in attendance.
It was an excellent opportunity to network with peers while enjoying a complimentary lunch and learning about the trends in the convenience and retail fuels industry in a casual setting. More importantly, learning about important legislative and regulatory issues facing the industry. Mr. Armour provided updates on initiatives their Government Relations team has been working on. Motor Fuels Liability, Swipe Fee Reform and Mobile Commerce are just to name a few.
If you missed this year’s NACs Industry Luncheon, make sure you attend next year’s highly successful and often sold-out luncheon events.
