ADVOCACY
Advocacy: The Backbone of Your Membership
With a combined population of over 11 million people, the Carolinas are a booming economic force and it’s important that the industry stays well-represented as those in state government make laws and rules that impact the industry. CFIC’s well-respected lobbying team navigates the halls of the legislature to ensure that grocers have a voice on issues that matter most. CFIC’s goal is to maintain an environment that benefits both grocers and consumers and also keep grocers informed about changing laws and regulations.
State Legislative Issues
