NGA Promotes Christopher Jones to SVP

The National Grocers Association (NGA) promoted Christopher Jones to SVP of government relations and counsel. He previously was VP of government relations and counsel.

“Chris and his team are tremendous advocates for NGA’s members before Congress and federal agencies,” said Greg Ferrara, president and CEO of Arlington, Va.-based NGA. “Under Chris’ leadership, NGA’s advocacy efforts achieved many important wins for NGA’s members, while NGA’s Grocers PAC saw record contributions last year, providing important resources to elect the right candidates to Congress who will be champions for independent grocers. I am proud of his accomplishments during his time at NGA and look forward to working with him as we continue to achieve wins for independent grocers.”
