By listening to our members, the grassroots retail voice, Retail Alliance® actively secures passage of history-making statewide retail and credit industry legislation
This legislation includes:
The association’s work at the Virginia General Assembly, with local city governments and at the federal level has resulted in millions of dollars annually recouped to retailers’ bottom lines. Moreover, Retail Alliance® currently serves at the onlystate association liaison to the federal Organized Retail Crime Coalition. Retail Alliance® has created an affiliation with its’ Richmond counterpart, the Richmond Retail Merchants Association® to collaborate on legislative issues.
The association’s Legislative Committee meets on a monthly basis and strategically plans legislative priorities. Legislative alerts are routinely provided to members. And, the Retail Angles monthly newsletter provides members a monthly report, the Legislative Scoreboard.
