One of our AACS Supplier Board members, Nick Nairn of Frucor recently resigned from the AACS Board as he was leaving the industry. We thank Nick for his contribution during the time that he was a Board Member. A number of high quality people expressed interest in taking up this Board position and from an evaluation of the various candidates, Jason Erickson, Manager Key Accounts with Philip Morris Limited has been appointed as an acting Board member. We welcome Jason and thank all those who initially expressed interest in the position and those who have since also made contact about the position.
The AACS AGM will take place in November [full details will be advised soon] and in August nominations for positions on the AACS Board will be sought. We are delighted that there is a great level of interest in participating both in AACS and on the Board, and we encourage all Members to consider nominating for the available positions.
Some of the criteria we would be seeking from nominees will [not exclusively] be:
- Board Experience
- Top and Diverse C-store Supplier
- Executive
- Broad Retail/FMCG Experience
- Education (financially literate)
- Track Record of Support to industry
- Interpersonal skills
At the AACS AGM Suppliers will have the opportunity to vote for which Suppliers they would like to have represent them on the Board.
We do encourage you to get involved if you have the commitment to the Convenience industry.
Watch for more information over coming weeks, but feel free to make contact with me at any time should you require additional information.
