Why Join IFRA

Since 1920, the Illinois Fuel & Retail Association has been the voice in Springfield for Illinois fuel marketers and convenience retailers, from family-owned stores to national chains. IFRA members get:

  • A voice at the Capitol. Full-time advocacy before the General Assembly, the Governor’s office and state agencies, including the State Fire Marshal, Illinois EPA, Department of Revenue and Bureau of Weights and Measures.

  • Answers when the rules change. Timely member alerts that turn new laws and emergency orders into practical guidance, often after going directly to the agency for answers.

  • National representation. Automatic membership in the Energy Marketers of America (EMA), plus close work with NACS and NATSO.

  • Legal advocacy. IFRA joins litigation that affects the industry, including the defense of Illinois’ law barring swipe fees on sales tax and tips.

  • The Weekly Bulletin. A weekly update on Springfield, Washington and the issues that affect your business.

  • M-PACT savings. Member pricing at M-PACT, the Midwest’s premier fuel and convenience trade show.

  • Business programs. DOT-approved drug testing for CDL drivers, the Fueling Illinois Multiple Employer 401(k) Plan, and discounts from IFRA partners.

  • Networking. Member events throughout the year, including the IFRA Golf Outing and the Winter Conference.

  • Online member portal. Access IFRA documents, the member directory and your account through ClubExpress.
