Awards presented during the Fall Legislative Conference in Harrisburg
PictureAlex Baloga, vice president, external relations, presents the 2016 Federal Legislator of the Year award to U.S. Representative Glenn Thompson (PA-5) during the Fall Legislative Conference in Harrisburg on October 4
PFMA presented several awards during the Fall Legislative Conference, October 4-5, 2016  at the Harrisburg Hilton. 
U.S. Representative Glenn "GT" Thompson was named the "Federal Legislator of the Year" during a lunch presentation. This award is presented to legislators who exemplify the values of our supermarket, convenience store and associate members. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Representative Thompson supported the food industry on issues such as menu and GMO labeling and patent reform. 

Jeff Brown, Brown’s Super Stores; and Scott Hartman, Rutter’s Farm Stores, received the "Defender of the Food Industry" Award during  dinner presentation. These advocacy awards are presented to members who provide exceptional leadership and serve as champions for the association’s grassroots efforts. 
​
PFMA acknowledged Bill Bracey, Bill's ShopRites, as the "Top Individual Contributor" and SheetzPAC as the "Top Company Contributor."

Louie Sheetz accepted the award for SheetzPAC. Bracey and Sheetz are strong supporters of the association’s political action committee every year, which helps elect candidates that will champion the food industry’s views.
