<p><strong>Alexandria, Va.</strong> – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) today went live with a re-designed online <a href="https://sso.nacds.org/Login.aspx">Membership Directory</a> that puts more than 22,000 NACDS retailer and supplier member contacts into members’ hands.<br />
<br />
“The newly re-designed Membership Directory brings together two key aspects of what NACDS does so well –bringing together people within the industry and using technology to create the most user-friendly experience possible,” said NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson, IOM, CAE.<br />
<br />
Like the other features of NACDS.org, NACDS created the Membership Directory using responsive web design – meaning that members can use the powerful resource in a format that adjusts automatically for smart phones, tablets and computers.<br />
<br />
After clicking on the clearly-presented “Chain Members” or “Associate Members” buttons within the Directory, users can access useful information including individual contact information, explanations of parent- and subsidiary-company relationships, and Chains’ store- and pharmacy-counts and the states in which they operate. <br />
<br />
Authorized member company representatives can update company information through NACDS.org. NACDS has developed a <a href="https://www.nacds.org/pdfs/membership/membership_managing.pdf">simple guide</a> to assist members in updating company information that appears in the Membership Directory.<br />
<br />
“The timing of this re-launch is ideal, with the 2014 NACDS Total Store Expo nearing so quickly. The new and improved Membership Directory presents a taste of the value that NACDS delivers throughout the year,” Anderson explained.<br />
<br />
The NACDS Total Store Expo will be held August 23-26 in Boston. </p>
