Kentucky Tobacco & Candy Association Membership Benefits

Dear Industry Member:

On behalf of the Membership of the Kentucky Tobacco & Candy Association, you are invited to join our trade association. The KTCA is composed of wholesalers as regular members, manufacturers, brokers and other vendors to wholesalers as associate members. Our purpose is to seek improvement of the distribution industry in Kentucky and lend our strength nationally when possible.

Although comparatively small in members and budget to other state associations, KTCA has been one of the most active and effective associations i the country. Despite its size, the association has been able to maintain a very high profile in Frankfort and been successful in a number of court cases favorable to the industry.

KTCA is the only trade association devoted to protection of the wholesale distributor in Kentucky. We cooperate with the American Wholesale Marketing Association on the national level.

There is strength in numbers; consequently, companies doing business with wholesalers should consider membership in our association. The industry continues to be attacked from many sides and a unified front is necessary to survive.

Your membership will ensure continued success in our endeavors to promote candy and tobacco products in Kentucky. I hope we can count on your support!

Sincerely,
Ron Morris
Executive Director
