OUR HERITAGESpread the Lite of Good Fellowship

within the Retail Food Industry.

OUR PURPOSEWe are a national non-profit organization comprised

of diverse individuals dedicated to the success of

the California Grocers Association and Western

Association of Food Chains conventions. We are

committed to developing the industry leaders of

tomorrow.

WELCOME TO THE ILLUMINATORS!

Whether you are a longtime member or relatively

new, we are happy to have you in the organization.

Please enjoy this member roster and the photos and

comments about the events from the previous year.

I am very proud to serve as Headlite this year. My

goal is to continue the good work done by Dimmed

Headlite Paul Kamholz in educating our retailers and

members about the scholarship opportunities the

Illuminators provide. But in addition to that I want to

encourage Illuminators to “make it personal”.

“Make it Personal” means to take that extra step to help

someone in our industry who needs it. Or to make a

phone call or send a card instead of sending a text or

an e-mail. Educate and encourage young people who

enter the industry realize that a great career is possible

in the Grocery Industry. It doesn’t take too much more

time and can make a big difference.

I have met some great friends within the Illuminators.

Many have taken extra time to encourage me

throughout my time in the organization. They got me

involved in committees, sparked my interest in being a

Hilite and that offered the possibility of serving as an

office, including this year as Headlite.

My experience as an Illuminator has been enriched

by the being an active participant in the organization

and by so many Illuminators taking time to “make

it personal” for me. I hope you make the most of

your membership by getting actively involved with

a committee or two at the CGA, WAFC and in your

market area.

I encourage you to take full advantage of our

Illuminators Educational Foundation scholarship

program if you have a family member or colleagues

attending college. Remember that your family and

extended family is eligible and everyone in your

company as a result of you being an Illuminator

member. Details are on the website. Make it a goal to

suggest to at least one person you know to apply for

a scholarship. And make it a goal to bring on one new

member to the Illuminators!

If you have a question about the Illuminators or just

want to talk about our events, our committees, or

anything else please feel free to call me.

As always – continue to Spread the Lite of Good Fellowship!

Warm Regards,

Tracy LapeIlluminator Headlite 2019-2020

THE VALUE OF MEMBERSHIP IS PRICELESS… WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON BUILDING LONG TERM BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS

WHILE PROVIDING LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITES TO WAFC, CGA AND ILLUMINATOR MEMBERS.

Being an Illuminator is an attitude and a lifestyle. We work hard and play hard. We work hard for our companies

and for the Illuminator organization to support our retail partners in raising money and awareness for educational

programs within our industry.

We play hard and it’s reflected in our retailer partner’s comments. They use the term “magic” when they refer

to the atmosphere of fun that we create at the WAFC, CGA and other Illuminator Events. We use the phrase

“Spreading the Lite of Lite of Good Fellowship.” This lite shines like a beacon from the Illuminator Volunteers who

work hard on committees to make each event “THE BEST EVER.”

In return for their efforts, Illuminator membersreceive the following benefits, and more:

EXCEPTIONAL NETWORKING AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES BUILDING

LONGSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS

UNEQUALED EXPOSURE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION AND BRANDS

BECOMING A BOARD MEMBER

MOVING UP IN THE ILLUMINATORS: JOIN/GET INVOLVED/TAKE OWNERSHIP/ BUILD TEAMWORK/PROVIDE LEADERSHIP

BOARD MEMBERS ARE CALLED HILITES AND 15 HILITES COMPRISE THE CONSTELLATION OF HILITES- OUR GOVERNING BOARD. THEY ARE ASSISTED BY THE ILLUMINATOR OFFICERS AND BOARD ADVISORS.The Illuminators gives members that demonstrate interest the

opportunity to develop leadership skills through chairing events

and committees with the goal to become a Hilite.

Hilites serve on the board for three years. Each year, five

individuals are nominated and elected to join the Constellation.

Five are “dimmed” (leaving active board duty). The board is

accountable for future direction of the Illuminators to achieve its

mission and vision. The diverse perspectives of board members

provide direction on how to increase the value of Illuminator

membership and activities. The contribution of the Constellation

of Hilites is one of the reasons the Illuminators are such a

dynamic and well respected organization.

The path to the board is through joining the Illuminators,

volunteer to chair or vice chair committees or events, work hard

and ask to get more involved. Once you are a chair or vice chair

for four events you are eligible to become a Hilite.

The Constellation of Hilites serve as leaders that oversee

convention committees and also participate in 4 board meetings

held each year. Once a Hilite is dimmed, they have the potential

to become an Officer of the organization.

Each Hilite class has a special bond- from serving the

membership in your first year together to leaving the board.

Volunteer and find out just what a great experience it is!

THE 2019 ILLUMINATOR MID-YEAR WAS A GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL WHO TRAVELED TO “THE BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD!” YES, WE KICKED OFF OUR MID-YEAR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING IN RENO, NV.

Our Headlite Tracy Lape and husband Dougie Fresh welcomed everyone

at the lobby of the Renaissance Hotel with a smile and gift bags for the

weekend of business and pleasure. The weather was perfect the whole

weekend, with highs in the 70’s and lows in the 50’s. Our opening reception

was in the Headlite Suite’s and we were greeted by Officers and spouses:

Tracy and Doug, Andrea and Dave, Joe and Anabell. Shortly after the

opening reception we made our way down to the Indoor Bocce Ball Venue

for some friendly competition! We were split up into teams of 6 and played

in a Bocce Ball tournament. The winners have yet to be announced but it

doesn’t matter as we had a great time! After the Bocce Ball games Headlite

Lape introduced the First Year Hilites and welcomed them to the BOD family.

Congratulations to first year Hilites:

All new Hilites in attendance received their Barlite assignments after dinner

and they were eager to serve. As a first year Hilite, one of the duties

is to serve refreshments at the Mid-Year meeting, at the CGA Strategic

Conference receptions and at the WAFC receptions and Afterglow. The

challenge for all new Hilites is not to forget or lose that apron as it will be

required at all the before mentioned events!

The Saturday morning board meeting was very productive as we discussed

new ways of growing membership, retaining membership and staying

relevant in our industry while raising money for Education. Our Diversity and

Inclusion Committee shared statistics from the recent luncheon in Anaheim

and announced the upcoming planning for a new Boise event in the fall. Our

Illuminator Education Foundation disclosed our 2019 Torch Award Recipient

and encouraged everyone to participate.

Our Saturday evening dinner was kicked off with a greeting from Headlite

Lape and then a “Drink Mixologist” showed our BOD Team how to mix

drinks! Shortly thereafter many of our Dimmed Headlites marched in

dancing and showing off some moves as they prepared to share some of our

90+ year history. The after glow party began immediately after dinner and

the new Barlites tried out some of the “Drink Mixologist’s” tricks!

CONTINUING IN TRADITION WE CLOSED OUT THE WEEKEND SUNDAY MORNING WITH A CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST IN THE HEADLITE SUITE AND SAID OUR FAREWELLS…UNTIL NEXT TIME DEAR FRIENDS!

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

2019 DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Our Second annual Diversity and Inclusion was a great

success! This year it was held at The Colony House in

Anaheim, CA. Over 150 registered guests attended our

educational luncheon about creating an Environment that

Values and Understands Generational Differences.

Our event guest speaker and moderator and keynote

speaker was Dr. Chip Espinoza, an author, speaker, coach

and educator. Our guest panelist’s were: Pat Posey, Vice

President of Non Perishables and Merchandising at Bristol

Farms, Matt Reeve, Group Vice President of Sales and

Merchandising at Smart & Final and Jiaojiao Shen, Public

Relations and Social Media at Hallmark.

Dr. Chip kicked off the event with an engaging and

humorous discussion about generational differences

in the workplace. He shared personal and professional

stories that captured the audience’s attention

immediately. He then went on to moderate an in depth

discussion with our guest panelists about generational

differences in the workplace. A few minutes into the

discussionsit turned into the Pat and Matt Show featuring

Dr. Chip and Jiajiao!

All those in attendance can attest that this event was one

of a kind and we look forward to more of it’s kind in the

near future.

We are excited about the upcoming event in Boise Idaho

on October 22, 2019. Dr. Chip will be joined by panelists:

Jonathan Mayes, Senior Vice President of External Affairs

& Chief Diversity Officer, Albertsons Companies; Bobbye

Sweat, Diversity & Inclusion Director at Hallmark; Kristie

Ferriell-Beck, Vice President Human Resources, Idahoan

Foods and Theresa Whitney, Vice President of the Inter

HONORARY ILLUMINATORS

THE CHANCE TO POSITIVELY IMPACT SOMEONE’S LIFE, EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW THEM, WOULD YOU?

If you’re reading this, your company already

recognizes that you’re good at your job. If you’ve

recently signed up, have been a member but

haven’t fully immersed yourself or are thinking

about becoming an Illuminator, I can tell you that

becoming an Illuminator changes lives. During my

term as Headlite we worked hard to communicate

rules for scholarship eligibility and, in the end, we had

more completed applications and awarded more

scholarship money than ever!

Other lives that were changed include my wife

Lorraine, our three daughters, and mine. The genuine

friendships formed with both “customers” and other

“vendors” will last a lifetime. I encourage you to give

it a shot; it will open doors, add to your success and,

most importantly, solidify these bonds that will last

forever.

Seems like there is a lot of value for that $350 in

membership dues, doesn’t it?

The Illuminators have been “Spreading the Lite of

Good Fellowship” for more than 90 years. Sign up,

get involved and come join us for fun, philanthropy

and success.

THE ILLUMINATORS BELIEVE STRONGLY IN COMPETITION.Our antitrust laws are the rules under which our competitive

system operates. Their purpose is to preserve and promote free

competition. Therefore, it is The Illuminators’ policy to comply in

all respects with the antitrust laws.

The Illuminators meetings, by their very nature bring

competitors together. Accordingly, it is necessary to avoid

discussions of sensitive topics and especially important to

avoid recommendations with respect to sensitive subjects.

Agreements to fix prices, allocate markets, engage in product

boycotts and refuse to deal with third parties are automatically

illegal under the antitrust law. It does not matter what the reason

for the agreement might be.

Accordingly, at Illuminator meetings the discussion of prices

(including elements of prices such as allowance and credit

terms), and he quality rating of suppliers selling to a particular

customer, should be avoided. Also, there should be no discussion

that might be interpreted as a dividing-up of territories.

An antitrust violation does not require proof of a formal

agreement. A discussion of a sensitive topic, such as prices,

followed by parallel action by those involved or present at

the discussion is enough to show a price fixing conspiracy.

As a result, those attending The Illuminators meeting should

remember the importance of avoiding not only unlawful

activities, but even the appearance of unlawful activity.

As a practical matter, violations of these rules can have

serious consequences for a company and its employees.

The Sherman Act is a criminal statute. Violations are felonies

punishable by penalties of up to $1 million for corporations

and by imprisonment of up to three years or penalties of up

to $100,000, or both, for individuals. The Justice Department,

State Attorney General, and any person or company injured by a

violation of the antitrust laws may bring an action for three times

the amount of damages, plus attorney’s fees.

Antitrust investigations and litigations are lengthy, complex, and

disruptive. Therefore, all companies and their employees must

not only comply with the antitrust laws in fact, but must conduct

themselves in a manner that avoids even the slightest suspicion

that the law is being violated.
