The Council of State Retail Associations (CSRA) Annual Meeting is right around the corner, taking place August 26–28, 2025, in Chicago. This premier event will bring together retail association leaders and corporate government affairs professionals from across the country for collaboration, learning, and strategy.
Washington Retail’s President & CEO, Renée Sunde, who serves as Chairwoman of CSRA, will lead this year’s gathering. Under her leadership, the program will spotlight pressing issues and forward-looking strategies that shape the retail industry.
Highlights include a workshop on succession planning and board leadership led by Curtis Picard, CAE, President & CEO of the Retail Association of Maine, as well as sessions on artificial intelligence in retail, the future of pharmacy, evolving food industry policies, and environmental regulations.
The meeting is not only a chance to explore important legislative and regulatory topics but also an opportunity to share best practices and strengthen advocacy efforts.
WR staff looks forward to seeing partners and retailers at this impactful event.
