The Ohio Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association and the Ohio Association of Convenience Stores will merge to create the Ohio Energy and Convenience Association (OECA). The new group will officially debut in January 2022.
"We are thrilled the members of the Ohio Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association (OPMCA) endorsed the merger with the Ohio Association of Convenience Stores (OACS). This monumental merger will allow the industry to speak with a single, unified voice about top priorities in a changing paradigm. Together, we will become a more forceful advocate for Ohio's energy and convenience industry," said Ryan Howard, chief operating officer of Truenorth Energy and board chairman for OPMCA.
The new OECA, he said, will deliver value to both organizations' members and will build an agile trade association focused on tomorrow's transportation fuels challenges.
