The Young Executives Organization (YEO) Conference is back and better than ever under a new name, CStore Momentum. Hosted by Yesway, CStore Momentum 2024 will take place at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, from Sept. 18 – 20. Each year, this conference serves as a resource for young executives looking to learn about the industry through engaging information sessions, interactive workshops and networking events. This year, young executive attendees will get the chance to learn about a multitude of burning issues, spend time with industry peers and hear from distinguished c-store professionals. “As we designed the program content for our 2024 event, it was imperative that we deliver in three primary areas: No. 1: What does operational excellence look like for our event host, Yesway? No. 2: How do we expand actionable learning in key areas like loyalty, foodservice and private label? No. 3. How do we ensure attendees grow as leaders within our industry? I’m happy to say that our retailer content committee put their heads together, and I’d say they really delivered,” said Allison Dean, executive director, NAG Convenience.

The ICMA Conference is HERE !! This is my favorite event of the year. I get a half day with City, County, Town, and District Managers from all over the world. I learn from them. They learn from me. My topic is “Delivering Great Results from your Vision and Strategic Plan”.  I’m honored to say that the room is always filled with (the max of) 50 participants. I use the 8-piece Framework of Organizational Excellence as the overall desired outcome from having these documents. Yes, they obviously should be built and implemented from the unique context, location, and needs of each jurisdiction. But, sustainment comes from Organizational Excellence. In the workshop, we will use a simple assessment instrument to measure the quality and usage of the strategic plan. I also provide an example of how one local government communicated it through all levels of staff to minimize what’s called the “alignment gap”. We then learn and define how fully communicating performance expectations can convert higher-level intentions into day-to-day activities and behaviors. To close, we offer a menu of “transformational measures” to stimulate how we will inspire and track our progress on making the plan futuristic and successful. Although this presentation is local government-focused, I’m happy to talk to those leaders who see value and who are committed to building and sustaining excellence in their organization.
