🥳 Congratulations to the 2024 FMS Solutions Holdings Legacy Scholarship recipients. We wish them well in their future endeavors. Spencer Drylie This student at Ohio’s Miami University said receiving this scholarship is “a validation of my vision to create an impact in the grocery industry.” Drylie is studying economics and entrepreneurship while working as a bakery association at Dorothy Lane Market. “I imagine a future within grocery retailing where independent, community-centered grocers can thrive alongside large chains,” he said. “I believe that the future of the grocery industry belongs to those who can strike a delicate balance between innovation and the enduring human desire for connection, tradition and a sense of place.” Lauren Elwood “As a business management major at the University of New Haven, I fully intend to return to the grocery industry to perform internships, summer jobs, and to further explore career opportunities after receiving my MBA in four years,” said Elwood, who works at Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace in suburban New York as a cashier and is also involved in food sampling, catering, e-commerce and the store’s coffee bar. Elwood looks forward to being “an effective manager ready to serve both the company and the community that I have grown to love.” Taylor Hughes Also a Women Grocers of America scholarship recipient, this University of Mississippi student is majoring in management with an emphasis in HR while working as a floral coordinator and produce assistant for Associated Wholesale Grocers. “Since I already work in the grocery business, this scholarship will create wonderful networking opportunities for me, which could also lead to great job opportunities,” Hughes said. “My goal is to stay with my current company and help better it, which in turn will improve things for our member stores.” The Scholarship program is coordinated through the NGA Foundation and funded by the generosity of our donors and affiliate groups.

The Voice of the Independent Supermarket Industry
About us
NGA is the national trade association representing the retail and wholesale grocers that comprise the independent sector of the food distribution industry. An independent retailer is a privately owned or controlled food retail company operating a variety of formats. Most independent operators are serviced by wholesale distributors, while others may be partially or fully self-distributing. Some are publicly traded but with controlling shares held by the family and others are employee owned. Independents are the true "entrepreneurs" of the grocery industry and dedicated to their customers, associates, and communities. NGA members include retail and wholesale grocers, state grocers associations, as well as manufacturers and service suppliers. For more information about NGA and the independent sector of the industry, see the NGA website: www.NationalGrocers.org.
