Convenience Stores Are Community Stores
Monday is all about community and what our industry means to their employees and the customers they serve. NACS Vice Chairman and Treasurer Don Rhoads will begin his year as your 2022-23 NACS Chairman, followed by a keynote by Jake Wood, who founded more than an organization—he created a movement with Team Rubicon.
Team Rubicon is the fastest growing and most innovative disaster response organization in the world. Since 2010, Team Rubicon has grown to more than 150,000 volunteers and responded to nearly 1,000 crises around the world and the United States. Under Jake’s leadership, Team Rubicon developed a reputation for its corporate culture, and named one of the top nonprofits to work for in America.
Jake served as a Marine Corps scout-sniper with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and was a varsity football player for the Wisconsin Badgers. He is the author of “Once A Warrior,” a memoir detailing his time in war and disaster zones around the world, which Tom Brokaw called, “The book America needs right now.”
