What is CMOY?
For the past decade, the Category Manager of the Year Award (CMOY) honors those who exemplify the future of the convenience-store industry, foster meaningful relationships, and drive innovative thinking. Two winners will be chosen per category from a pool of nominated candidates who represent both small and large chains. The winners will be announced Feb. 24-26 in Nashville, Tennessee during the Convenience Retailing University, and be featured in the April issue of CSP magazine.
