Answering Your Questions About the Proposed NFDA Merger

As conversations continue around the proposed merger between Selected and NFDA, Selected leadership is committed to keeping members informed every step of the way. In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing answers to some of the most common questions we've received to help provide clarity and keep everyone up to date on the latest developments.

How will Selected benefit specifically?

Like many associations, Selected has faced increasing market, financial, and operational pressures that have made it more challenging to operate as a stand-alone organization. Over the past several years, the Selected Board has explored multiple approaches to address these challenges while remaining focused on serving its members.

NFDA’s scale, financial stability, and diversified revenue streams provide a stronger long-term foundation for investing in the programs and community that make Selected distinctive. This is not a choice between sustainability and identity. The goal is to preserve the trusted peer exchange, high standards, and leadership community that define Selected while giving them an even stronger foundation for the future.
