Co-operation and communication between supplier and retailer have become increasingly important in grocery retail. CFIG's Associate Members' Council (AMC) has in turn become more integral to the direction of the federation as a whole.

The Associate Members' Council is a group of senior executives representing a variety of Canadian grocery product companies. The AMC meets quarterly, and provides professional guidance to the Board of Directors on industry news and trends.
