NAFD allows us to meet in one location with industry leaders from across the country. The great dynamics of millers and distributors in one place not only helps King Arthur Flour foster relationships, it helps remind us all that we are in this together to serve or mutual customers.
I am always pleased at the high quality of speakers at the conference and the help the organization provides year around

My 15 years as a member of the NAFD has not only provided me with access to the top decision makers in our industry, but also the opportunity to grow strong personal relationships with these leaders. The experiences and knowledge that I have gained through the NAFD have been invaluable to the growth of my family owned business. Being a member has not only benefitted me professionally but also personally through the friendships I have built.

I‘ve been a member of the NAFD for over 30 years. The annual NAFD convention brings together leaders from distributors, flour millers and other prominent suppliers to the baking industry. Through my participation along with members of my leadership team, we’ve fostered long-standing business relationships, and developed deeper understandings of the challenges and opportunities in our industry. I’ve always come away from the annual meeting with new information and ideas that help to drive our business forward.

The NAFD is a special organization. It has been successful for so many years because it is based on friendship, friendship between distributors, both non-competitors and competitors, friendship with industry representatives and friendship between families. Maybe the family friendships are the secret, because the spousal participation is a unique aspect of the NAFD. It provides a relaxed social atmosphere where business gets done with a handshake and a smile. When Linda and I attended our first convention we were heartily greeted and included in every activity. We quickly discovered that our business was not unique and was a mirror image of the other distributors in attendance. We all had similar problems with trucks, computers, sales compensation, etc. Everyone openly discussed problems and solutions down to the minor detail --- priceless information that a consultant could never provide. And nothing has changed over the years. We still have open discourse about our ever changing business challenges.
Again---priceless.
Again---priceless.

Efco has been a member of the NAFD for many years. The annual conference is without a doubt a can't miss event where you have the chance to develop lasting business and personal relationships. The opportunity to meet with industry leaders to share ideas has paid dividends far greater than the cost of attendance. If you are in the baking industry you should be a member of this organization.
