Former Presidents & CEOs
The State Association representing fuel distributors and retailers has existed in some form for over 100 years in Illinois. Currently the Illinois Fuel & Retail Association, we strive to serve our members by representing their interests in the State Capital in Springfield, in the nation’s capital in Washington D.C., and in your local municipality.
We honor the former Presidents and CEO’s of the Illinois Fuel & Retail Association for their dedication and efforts to advancing this industry in Illinois.
