PREMIUMCIGARS.ORG VOLUME 3 2022 | PCA The Magazine 15 KATHLEEN KELLY Queensbury Cigar & Pipe Queensbury, NY During my tenure I would like to see every state form its own state organization and work closely with the PCA. BOB ROBERTS Smoke’m Casa Grande Casa Grande, AZ As a retailer, I will work with manufacturers and associate board members to extend the reach the PCA to more retailers including those outside of U.S.; explore additional opportunities to increase trade show attendance and exhibitors; utilize my 13 years of experience as an officer on the National Association of Tobacco Retailers to support government affairs efforts; and review PCA's Strategic Plan in an on-going effort to enhance PCA’s presence/brand in the industry. JARRID TRUDEAU Kristoff Cigars There’s nothing more important to the industry than a strong, insightful, conscientious organization driving growth and advocacy. Serving on the board will afford me the opportunity to work with people that live these characteristics every day in their businesses, and will allowme to better serve our members and my customers. I would love to work toward bringing our members closer to the organization and better explain to the members how we add value and how they can be a part of the process. I ran for election to the board because I love this industry and I wanted to give back to it. I am very active on the state level with our New York association, and wanted to be involved on a federal level. During my tenure I would like to see every state form its own state organization and work closely with the PCA. N E W B OA R D M E M B E R S
