NBWA Statement of Antitrust Policy
The United States antitrust laws were en act ed to preserve the free enterprise sys tem, to promote competition and to protect the public and other businesses from ex clu sion ary or predatory trade prac tic es. The National Beer Whole sal ers As so ci a tion (NBWA) and its members are best served by strict ad her ence to the antitrust laws. NBWA shall at all times promote vigorous com pe ti tion in compliance with these laws.
NBWA’s policy includes com pli ance with the spirit as well as the letter of the antitrust laws. This requires the un der stand ing and cooperation of each NBWA mem ber and staff employee. It is their per son al obligation and responsibility to act in a manner con sis tent with the na tion’s an ti trust laws.
Because of the scope and intricacy of the antitrust laws, NBWA members and staff must be sensitive to activities rais ing po tential problems under the an ti trust laws. The NBWA Antitrust Guide should be con sult ed. It identifies specific areas of an ti trust con cern as well as other areas where legal counsel should be sought.
All NBWA activities, meetings or dis cus sions shall avoid any conduct that would:
1. Raise, lower or stabilize pric es;
2. Allocate geographic ar eas or customers served;
3. Encourage refusals to deal or boycotts; or that in any way would violate fed er al or state antitrust laws.

Terms of State Directors shall be staggered as determined by the Board so that approximately one-third of the State Directors are elected each year; if a state has more than one director, the terms of such a state’s directors shall also be staggered if practicable. State Directors shall not be eligible for reelection to consecutive three-year terms until one year has elapsed since the expiration of that director’s last term. This three-year term limit shall not apply: (A) when a director is elected to fill a term of less than three years; (B) for the period that a director has been elected as a numbered (two year) regional di-rector (in which case the three-year term shall also be extended as necessary); and (C) when no other eligible regular member is willing to serve.
(iii) Election. Prior to each annual meeting of the Asso-ciation, the regular members in good standing located in each state shall elect a State Director for each vacancy by written secret ballot pursuant to procedures established by the Board.
