Lobbying We maintain strong one on one contact with state legislators and government leaders. We are proactive in our efforts for the benefit of our industries and members. We engage the members in a grass roots effort for the benefit of the industries. Education We keep members informed of constantly changing laws and regulations to help keep them informed and aid them in holding down the cost of doing business. We publish a monthly newsletter, At the Pump and Down the Aisle, to all members to keep them up to date on regulations, trends and industry changes. We fax and e-mail several times a month, the one-page publication, At the Pump and Down the Aisle - Mini Edition, with education information and industry tips. When the legislature is in session members receive the OMEGA WV Legislative Update, to keep them abreast of legislative activity and to aid in our grass roots efforts. National Liaison We act as a liaison with the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), Petroleum Storage and Transportation Association (PTSA), Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and National Grocers Association (NGA) for federal legislation and governmental affairs. Library OMEGA WV maintains a library that contains the WV Code, various state and federal rules and regulations, periodicals, videotapes, CD's and books to aid members in running efficient businesses. Seminars OMEGA sponsors informational seminars to help keep members up to date on regulations, trends and industry changes. Check our Events section for more information.
