CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Mark
Your
Calendar!
Alabama Grocers Association
2017 Annual Convention
July 23-26, 2017
Sandestin Golf &
Beach Resor t
Miramar Beach, FL
I would be remised if I did not mention
our largest Association Fundraiser
coming up in July. If you have not already
made plans to join us for the 2017 AGA
Convention on July 24-27 in Sandestin
Golf & Beach Resort, you need to act fast.
This event is shaping up to be one of
our best yet! Not only are we going back
to Sandestin, we have one of the best
Business Forum line ups to date. Mr.
Thom Singer, motivational speaker will
be our keynote and will talk to us about
reconnecting in a gadget crazed world.
We will also have an active shooter
seminar; Stacey Neumann from the
Alabama WIC Department will talk to
us about the upcoming pilot of e-WIC
scheduled for February/March 2018
and we will have an expert panel on
e-commerce.
This convention is your opportunity to
connect with other AGA members, hear
speakers on hot industry topics and enjoy
some great entertainment. For a complete
schedule and to register, please go online

This is a great time to be involved in our
Association.
“I am reminded of a quote from one of our
founding fathers, Mr. Benjamin franklin,
'Do not squander time for that is the stuff
life is made of.'”
