The food industry is highly regulated and subject to strict standards. The Ohio Grocers Association aggressively supports the industry's interests in the legislature and with state agencies. OGA’s professional staff works in the halls of the state government every day to ensure that the food industry’s voice is heard on important legislative and regulatory matters. Public hearings, legislative committee meetings, and regular sessions of the House, Senate, and numerous regulators all require constant attention.
Advocating the food industry's interests in state government is not a sideline, it's our job. Over the years we've had numerous legislative and regulatory successes. Our plate remains full of initiatives to keep the food industry competitive and worry-free so store owners and company executives can concentrate on their core business.
