National Advisory Group
Allied Supplier Member Benefits
An allied supplier membership with National Advisory Group is an amplification tool for industry suppliers who demonstrate support of the NAG mission. Allied membership unlocks additional networking, connections, and savings across NAG and YEO functions.
All employees of an Allied Supplier company are encouraged to create their own user account. A user account will be required to take advantage of member benefits. You can use our invite tool to send the new user information to your team!
Allied Supplier Memberships are currently available by invitation only. To learn more about Allied Membership, please contact your CStoreDecisions sales rep or contact Allison Dean, [email protected].
The National Advisory Group is lead by a volunteer board of directors. There are currently (3) three seats available to Allied Supplier companies.
By maintaining your allied membership, your company demonstrates a commitment to connecting and growing with the convenience operators within our network. As such, your company will be considered for open seats on our board as they become available.
Participating in the governance and oversight of the National Advisory Group guarantees you access and exposure to the key retailers within our industry and further demonstrates your commitment to supporting the industry as a whole.
The Young Executives Organization (YEO) is a sister community to National Advisory Group specifically focused on offering content, leadership, and connections for the rising leaders in convenience retail. Access to participate with YEO events and activities is exclusively available to individuals from NAG member companies. Your National Advisory Group membership includes access to YEO for your rising leaders. Each YEO membership is valued at $200 annually and includes access to YEO events, networking, and content.
Visit our Young Executives Organization page for more details. For instructions on how to appoint your YEO members, please contact Allison Dean, [email protected]

The Leadership Discovery Program (LDP) is a program designed to support the individuals who have demonstrated leadership potential within the convenience retailing industry.
Each member company is able to enroll (2) two new participants each year. This program is exclusively available to the retail and allied member companies of NAG. There is no additional cost to enroll.
Each newly enrolled participant will take the Gallup CliftonStrengths34 diagnostic to better understand their innate leadership skills. Following the diagnostic, participants will attend a half day “Know Your Strengths” workshop, facilitated by Gallup with their industry peers also enrolled in the program, currently held in conjunction with the NAG conference, now called CStore Connections.
Alumni participants (enrolled prior to the current year) will be included in on-going virtual education events to build upon the learnings.

The Allied Supplier Membership program was re-launched at the end of 2023. As we continue to grow the program, additional member benefits will be made available.
Allied Members will have access to:
- NAG membership directory
- NAG member only newsletter and other communications
- First rights to support new initiatives
- Bonus/complimentary ad spots for virtual events hosted by NAG or CStoreDecisions
