Legislative & Regulatory Representation: 

OGA is your watchdog at the Ohio Statehouse and we have an excellent relationship with both legislative and regulatory agencies. Because of this, OGA’s strong presence and active involvement has saved members thousands of dollars by fighting against tax increases, crippling regulatory issues and other damaging legislation.

Industry Communications, Updates & Alerts: 

Members also receive quarterly editions of the OhioGROCER Magazine, our weekly email briefings, The Weekly Checkout, and Ohio Food Industry related alerts – including Special/Urgent alerts that require your immediate attention.                         Megaphone - Free marketing icons
