PRESIDENT'S NOTES:  

SOGGDA PATH,  In the past SOGGDA was in place for the gasoline dealers. It's design was to help the gasoline dealers with the day to day dealings with the gasoline company's and with their business. With the path of oil company's, we lost a lot of dealers to company ran  convenience centers. SOGGDA started to include garage owners into association, which helped to grow the membership back up again. Today board members are working to enhance the benefits to the membership of SOGGDA. We already have one of the best worker's comp. programs in the State Of Ohio. We are now adding affiliate members to help with your day to day business. 

In the future the board will be working to grow the membership and benefits of belonging to SOGGDA.  

- Barry Hall,  Current President,   Since 2017
