INDUSTRY CALENDAR

Letter from the Executive V.P. ————–

This year NCWA fostered dynamic interactions between our members and saw the truly inspiring emergence of new relationships within our industry.

While much attention is given to the acquisitions and mergers shaping our industry, it’s important to also recognize the next generation stepping into leadership roles. I see young, enthusiastic minds among our distributors, reps, and vendors who are poised for success in an industry eager for new talent. It’s invigorating to watch our younger professionals engage with industry veterans, navigating business deals, trends, margins, and supply chain challenges. Over my 20 years in the industry, I’ve also noted a significant increase in women making their mark in what was once a male-dominated field. These women are adding strength, intelligence, and resourcefulness to the industry.

NCWA has withstood the test of time and remains highly relevant. We are moving forward with many young leaders contributing to our board of directors and Leadership Development Council. We are committed to offering numerous networking and educational opportunities throughout the year to support and nurture our members’ growth and success.

In 2025 we will be hosting our Annual Convention at the OMNI Bedford Springs Resort in Bedford, PA, June 8-10, 2025.  Please mark your calendars and join us.  Online registration will be available on January 1^st.

As a member-driven association, every member has a say in shaping our future. I assure you that your voice will always be heard in how we provide support and value.

Blessings,

Terry Shafer, Exec. VP
