Greetings all,

As we enter the final quarter of 2025, I’d like to share a few SHDA updates. Our Board and Committees will meet in November at the Wild Dunes Resort in South Carolina. This planning session enables us to align on priorities and prepare for the best possible SHDA Industry Summit.

Looking ahead, the 2026 SHDA Industry Summit will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Summit has become one of the premier events in our industry—and one of my personal favorites.

I also encourage you to identify team members who would benefit from attending the University of Innovative Distribution (UID) in March and to nominate them for the Al Hoffman Memorial Scholarship.

Thank you for your continued engagement in SHDA. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Warm regards,
Charles Weaver
SHDA President
