NACDS Foundation moving dinner to TSE

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

ARLINGTON, Va. – The NACDS Foundation Dinner is making a major move to the NACDS Total Store Expo – a venue that will expand its reach and its ability to support public health initiatives.

In 2023 – in its 25th Anniversary year – the NACDS Foundation Dinner will be held during the NACDS Total Store Expo on Saturday, August 12, in San Diego.

“Following the pandemic, the NACDS Foundation Dinner made its highly anticipated return in 2022 with an impressive array of first-time and legacy supporters. The importance of the NACDS Foundation’s mission – and the enthusiasm surrounding it – was on full display,” said NACDS Foundation president Sara Roszak.

“With the strong engagement of the NACDS Foundation’s Board of Directors, benefactors, and collaborators, we look forward to bringing the event to the energetic and high-profile venue of the NACDS Total Store Expo. This move will empower the continued expansion of the NACDS Foundation’s reach for the ultimate benefit of the American public.”

The NACDS Foundation aims to improve the health and well-being of communities in America by sustainably supporting groundbreaking research, education, and scholarship programs that enhance health outcomes, foster equity, strengthen access, and advance public health.

Since its inception, the NACDS Foundation Dinner has been held in New York City in December. While the NACDS Foundation Dinner will change its venue, NACDS will continue to hold its separate lineup of year-end meetings in New York City.

More information is available on the NACDS Foundation Dinner page of the NACDS Foundation website.
