The Grand Rapids Grocery Manufacturers Representatives organization began with its first regular meeting in February 1942. It adopted the following policy as it aims and purposes:
To foster and promote a feeling of fellowship among its members and generally to promote trade and commerce. To eliminate or minimize abuses, methods and practices inimical to the proper distributions of the product of manufacturers represented by its members. To encourage the interchange of ideas among the members and their customers and to inspire a feeling of confidence in them for each other.
This club is run by a five member Board of Directors, five officers, and various committee members each year. The election of new officers and board members is held annually prior to the November meeting; each member having one vote. Ballots are emailed in advance and results are announced at the November luncheon. The installation of new officers and board members is generally conducted at the first luncheon meeting of the calendar year. Should you have a nomination for the upcoming election, please submit it to our President.
