- Building Communities
Leading retailers are at the heart of every community in America providing consumers with essential goods and services, stable jobs, and a legacy of volunteerism and supporting local charities. However, challenges emerge that place substantial financial burdens on retailers.
Given the common nature of these challenges across the industry, RILA pursues coordinated legislative, regulatory, and operational strategies to ensure retailers can continue to support and enhance the communities they serve.
