3 NFFS Member Benefits You Should Be Using Today

As I wrap up my third week at NFFS and continue connecting with many of you, I’m struck by the strength of this community and the genuine belief in what NFFS stands for. After 17+ years leading membership at major trade associations, I can confidently say: NFFS is different. It’s responsive, member-driven, and committed to delivering real value—not just promises.

That’s why I want to spotlight three powerful member benefits that many of you may not be using yet—but absolutely should be:

Industry Executive Conference (IEC): Your Strategic Advantage for 2026

Unlike traditional trade shows, the IEC (Feb 20–22, 2026 in Puerto Rico) is an intimate, high-impact gathering of industry leaders. Foundry members gain access to cutting-edge sessions on tariffs, workforce strategies, and economic forecasts—plus unforgettable networking experiences. Associate members benefit from direct, meaningful engagement with decision-makers, not just booth traffic. If you’ve never sent someone to IEC, this is the year to change that. Hotel blocks are closing soon—register today and position your business for success in 2026

Cut Energy Costs—Even in Regulated States—with Environ Energy

You may know Environ Energy (formerly APPI) for helping members in deregulated states like Texas and Ohio save on energy. But here’s the game-changer: they can now help members in regulated states too. Through rate optimization, usage analysis, bill auditing, and efficiency upgrades, Environ can uncover hidden savings—even where rates are fixed. They also help secure rebates and navigate regulatory changes. Don’t leave money on the table—contact Environ today to explore your options for 2026 and beyond.

Free Expert Help with Regulatory Compliance

The Regulatory Compliance Assistance Program is one of NFFS’ most valuable—and most underused—member benefits. Whether you need help with environmental permitting, OSHA compliance, or other safety and health topics, NFFS gives you direct access to experts who can guide you through complex regulations and help you avoid costly fines. It’s included in your membership. Have a question? Call the NFFS Team at 847-299-0950 and get the answers you need today.

These benefits are here for you—but only if you use them. Don’t wait. Take advantage of these powerful tools today and make sure your business is ready for everything 2026 has in store.
