From the Executive Director, Carlos LLansó

When I chaired the Membership Committee, I chatted with a member who did not renew. They were active in our association and even though we are not supposed to have favorites, they would have been on my list if having that list was allowed!

From the President, Andy Meehan

June is when things heat up—literally and figuratively. Between Father’s Day, fresh displays hitting national retailers, and Noted on the horizon, this month is stacked with visibility, energy, and momentum.
