National Grocers Association Anti-Trust Statement

The National Grocers Association (NGA) & National Grocers Association Foundation (NGAF) are committed to complying with the antitrust laws. Therefore, to assure compliance, we must ask that all participants in our events refrain from engaging in discussion that may result in antitrust violations such as agreements to fix prices or margins, allocate markets, engage in product, supplier or customer boycotts, and refusal to deal with industry members. The NGA & NGAF appreciate your compliance with the law during this educational program.
