Industry Association Highlight: CDA

Industry associations play a vital role in driving progress across the convenience sector – fueling collaboration, innovation, and strong relationships. As a tobacco manufacturer, we recognize that the growth of our business is closely tied to the success of the distributors who carry our products. This is why we’re proud members of the Convenience Distribution Association (CDA) – a vital organization that supports wholesale distributors and their suppliers across the country.

What is CDA?

The Convenience Distribution Association (CDA) is a non-profit trade organization serving convenience distributors. CDA represents hundreds of companies involved in the distribution of tobacco, candy, snacks, and other convenience products, all while advocating for the industry’s growth and success.

CDA’s Key Contributions:

– Advocacy for Our Industry

CDA serves as a voice for convenience distributors, advocating for policies that protect and grow the industry. Their efforts at the local, state, and federal levels help shape regulations and legislation that positively impact distributors and their supplier relationships.

– Education and Resources

Through workshops, webinars, and industry research, CDA equips its members with tools to navigate market trends, challenges, and opportunities. This shared knowledge helps all of us – from distributors to suppliers, stay ahead of the game, optimize operations, and make informed decisions that benefit business.

– Fostering Connections

With events like CD Marketplace and the Convenience Distribution Business Exchange (CDBX), CDA creates valuable opportunities for distributors and manufacturers in the convenience sector to connect, collaborate, and build relationships that drive business forward. These events foster a sense of community and offer a platform for Cheyenne International to engage with our distribution partners.

By supporting CDA, we align ourselves with an organization committed to advancing convenience distribution. Through our involvement, we stay connected with our distributor partners, gain insights into industry challenges, and work collectively to ensure success for everyone in the supply chain.
