Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA)

The threat of #supplychain theft—including #cargo theft and freight fraud—has become a pressing concern for various industries, including retail. Looking ahead to a new Congress and new administration incoming, what's the outlook for legislative action on these critical issues in 2025? RILA's Sarah Gilmore takes a deep dive here: https://lnkd.in/euG52jGG

This week we kicked off the next phase in our Vibrant Communities Initiative in Manhattan, NY. Retail leaders are energized and committed to the community-wide effort of combatting retail crime for safer communities. A huge thanks to everyone participating!

Leading retailers look forward to working with President-elect Trump and the newly elected members of Congress on the host of issues important to local retailers, our employees and the communities we serve. Decisions made over the next four years will dictate how leading retailers operate, invest in their workforce and local communities, and drive billions in supply chain investments and economic development.

What a wonderful last few days at the 2024 Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) and Retail Litigation Center's Retail Law Conference! The Legal Team missed our colleague Thomas Casey for the pictures (he had to make a plane and we didn't think to take them until after conference duties had wrapped up!) but I wanted to share this great group of lawyers and legal professionals that work to support retailers all throughout the year. A huge thank you to the top notch RILA conference team who planned and executed the event and to the many retail lawyers - both in house and law firm partners - who joined us in Chicago this week!

🏛️ Supreme Court panel: A smash hit again! 🌟 At this perennial crowd favorite session, experts Michelle Kallen, Matthew McGill, Roman Martinez, and Amy Howe addressed a packed house as they analyzed recent landmark decisions, previewed upcoming cases, and explored the potential long-term implications of the Court's rulings. Can't wait for next year! Who's in? 🙋♀️🙋♂️ #SupremeCourt #RetailLeaders
