CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Traci Nelson has been appointed president of the West Virginia Oil Marketers & Grocers Association (OMEGA), the trade association which represents the state’s convenience stores, independent grocers and petroleum marketers, officials said.
“Given her more than 20 years of experience working with OMEGA and its membership, there is no one more qualified to lead the organization than Traci,” OMEGA Chairman Joe DeFazio said. “She knows our issues, understands trade association management, and for those reasons, was a unanimous choice to lead us into the future.”
Nelson has worked for OMEGA since 1995 and has held the role of Member Services coordinator since 2006, when OMEGA took over management of the West Virginia Trucking Association. OMEGA took over management of the West Virginia Wholesalers Association in 2013 and the Independent Insurance Agents of West Virginia in 2014.
