Political engagement, the willingness of NACS members to get to know their elected officials and use their voices in the political and policy process, is critical to the long-term success and viability of the convenience and fuel retailing industry. Lawmakers make decisions every day that impact store operations and the industry. Without input from members of the industry, those decisions are made without the full understanding of how they affect businesses. When NACS members share their stories, build relationships and advocate for their priorities, they strengthen the industry’s voice and ensure it’s heard.
NACS supports these efforts through a range of programs designed to make engagement easy and effective.
