Supplier 'Associate' Membership

NECSA is the only group in New England ‘dedicated to service the needs of the convenience store industry’.

Business Contacts & Networking

Retail owners and operators recognize NECSA Associate members as strong supporters of the industry. NECSA business meetings and seminars bring together suppliers with retail members to exchange information on topics of mutual concern. In addition, social events such as the annual golf tournament and networking luncheon provide opportunities to meet with colleagues in an informal setting to expand your circle of valuable business contacts.

Annual Meeting and Networking Luncheon

NECSA’s Annual Meeting and Networking Luncheon held each fall provides more opportunities for members to interact and network. The agenda includes programs designed to provide vendors and retailers with opportunities for one on one communication, interaction, and education.

Trade Show

NECSA'S Trade Show is a perfect vehicle to establish your presence in the New England marketplace.

It gives you the opportunity to meet thousands of convenience store owners, buyers, and executives, all under one roof.

Exhibiting in the Trade Show also gives you the opportunity to increase sales and profits, introduce new products and merchandising ideas, and socialize with you colleagues.

Education Programs

A variety of seminars and workshops are held each year to address issues that impact the convenience store industry, address problems and concerns of mutual interest to vendors and retailers and provide a forum for resolving problems and developing new sales and merchandising ideas.

Legislative Protection

NECSA has six State Chapters (one for each New England state) that represent the industry at the local level at each state capitol. These State Chapters are made up of both retail and supplier members who volunteer their time and talents to protect the industry's key categories and interests. Each State Chapter works with a lobbyist and NECSA staff member. Legislators know that NECSA’s lobbyists and grassroots legislative network will aggressively represent the interests of all its members.

Web Site

NECSA's website offers members access to legislative updates, registration information for upcoming events, links to member sites and much more.
