Erin Sigrist, president of the Vermont Retail & Grocers Association and executive director of the Vermont Specialty Food Association, has been elected chairwoman of the Council of State Retail Associations Board of Directors for 2023. Her term begins on Jan 1.
Sigrist’s new role includes leading CSRA's eight-person board, overseeing an annual conference, providing support for state retail associations, facilitating the exchange of information and launching a new Women Retail Leaders program.
“Erin is a contemporary leader who runs an excellent state retail association and who knows how to listen and make progress,” said outgoing CSRA board chair Bruce Nustad. “We are fortunate to have her expertise, her welcoming Vermont personality and her love of retail in the leadership role.”
“It’s an honor to lead this group of my peer organizations, and I look forward to building on CSRA’s history to make us an even more effective group as each state works on issues directly impacting communities across the country,” Sigrist said.
