Standing Committees: Once You Join, Get Active!
You get out what you put in and when you get involved, you are rewarded several times over. Volunteering on committees and events gives you and your company great exposure to the retailers and other industry executives. You will truly set yourself apart from your competition. We encourage members to take leadership roles on committees that help support the California Grocers Association (CGA) Strategic Conference and the Western Association of Food Chains (WAFC). After chairing four committees or events Illuminator members become eligible for nomination to the Constellation of Hilites (Board Members).
