Reflections From the Fall NEMOA Conference

For instance, the conference’s theme was sustainability. But all the green-themed sessions focused heavily on ways to go green (or preferably go greener) in an affordable manner.

Memorable Eddie Smith Memorial
Clearly the highlight of the conference came when NEMOA President Margot Murphy Moore, who’s also the CEO of 1-800-Homeopathy, presented a special award posthumously to National Wholesale catalog founder Eddie Smith. Eddie died a little more than a year ago at 88 of cancer. I had the fortune of knowing Eddie, meeting him at conferences over the years. He lived a very special life, and rather than going any further, I encourage you to click here for the obit that ran in The Dispatch (Lexington, N.C.) last year.
