NICA Update Michelle Card, Executive Director


What is NICA to you? Is it a benefit? A savings on supplies, product or hotel rooms? I have often started a NICA conversation with members and poten- tial members about member benefits paying for the membership such as the Accidental Death insurance policy in- cluded in the annual member fee, or the 30% savings a fair can obtain on purchasing paint from Sherwin Williams when building renovations are in their plans.


25 Years ago, NICA was created to be a Voice for Inde-


pendent Concessionaires in the Fair Industry. Hence the NICA motto “Together We Can!” Reflecting upon NICA’s mission and history has inspired me to collect many of the advances our organization has achieved as a united voice in the industry. To name a few: The IAFE/NICA Transfer of Ownership (viewable at www.nicainc.org/voice) The Advisory Committee of Fair Managers and the NICA


Board that confronts the concerns shared by the fair and the concessionaire. Support of OABA efforts with H2-B and ELD to benefit


the needs of NICA members. Reduction of rent in many fairs that assist the conces-


sionaire in keeping patron costs down. Most recently, the removal of deposit for a fair in Califor-


nia so that the concessionaire can make improvements to their stand(s).


Educational workshops and roundtables at IAFE, WFA,


State Association Conventions and the NICA Business Expo and Fare Foods Food Show that keep members and even non-members up-to-date on current events, laws and trends. NICA Communications Committees that partner with fair


management to solve concerns and create marketing cam- paigns that work. The development of NICA Regional Councils to represent


geographical specific concerns of concessionaires. Providing educational scholarships to the Generation


Forward of concessionaires. These accomplishments are the core foundation of


NICA’s creation. The many benefits provided to members such as the NICA/Sysco Marketplace, National Coke and Pepsi pricing, National First Data pricing, CLC Lodging discounts and National Truck purchase agreements with Ford and Crystal Automotive (to name a few) are the by- products of an organization working hard for you as a Voice in the Industry. NICA is proud to provide the many benefits that not only


save you money but also help your business grow. The strength behind these benefits is our mission. “The National Independent Concessionaires Association


is dedicated to strengthening relationships with the Fair, Festival, and Special Events Industries through effective communication, education, benefits, leadership, and solu- tions.” “Together We Can!”
