What Members Are Saying

Julia Sherman

Owner, Bashor’s Team Athletics

Portland, OR

Since I have been involved in Bashor’s, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity NSGA has provided at its annual conference to sit and chat with the owners and national sales managers of the vendors we work with. It’s been great to develop relationships and to give and receive feedback to our vendors. I’ve also utilized some of the resources on the website and research tools and greatly appreciate the newsletter updates.

NSGA has been a tremendous help in terms of finding companies we can do direct business with or find products in order to increase our inventory and pass on better prices to our customers. This also enabled us to ship to our neighboring islands.
