“This is a HUGE win for our Association and it would not be possible without the relationships we build all year with our legislators and state regulatory agencies.”

As we close the year, I want to give a special thanks to our awesome Chairman, Mr. Peter V. Gregerson, Jr. who has done an outstanding job over the last two years. It has been my pleasure to work with him and see the contributions he has made not only to our Association but also to the state. Not many people know and understand all that Greg is involved with – not only is he Chairman of AGA, he also serves

on the Board of the Food Marketing Institute, Alabama Retail Association, WinSouth Credit Union, Gadsden Etowah Chamber of Commerce, Gadsden Etowah Industrial Developmental Authority, Alabama Small Business Commission, Zamora Shrine Center and Shriners Hospital for Children. This year he was deservingly awarded the Glen Woodard Public Affairs Award from the Food Marketing Institute.

I also want to welcome our incoming Vice Chairman, Mr. Frank D’Amico, III. I have known Frank as long as I can remember through the tobacco industry and know he will make his mark on the Association as a true leader and motivator for the future. Thanks to all of you for making this such a great year!
