The meeting centered on strengthening collaboration between our AG team and vendor partners, aligning on shared goals, and building a clear, strategic plan for the year ahead. Maintaining a strong partnership ensures better coordination, more effective promotions, improved product assortment, and strategic support that directly benefits our retail members.
