Tri-State Bookstores Association Meeting & President History

_
The Tri-State Bookstore Association was formed in 1966 when a group of Bookstore directors gathered at a lakeshore cabin and decided to create an organization to help them stay in touch with each other and informed about the unique needs of the college retail industry.

Now, as the association celebrates over 40 years of networking, professional development and education, the Tri-State Bookstores Association continues its commitment to serve its member stores and vendors.
