Scot Imus, executive director of the Indiana Food & Fuel Association (IFFA), received the 2023 M-PACT Award on Wednesday during the M-PACT Fuel & Convenience Tradeshow in Indianapolis. Imus, who will retire at the end of this month, has led IFFA for 20 years and served as one of the key leaders of the M-PACT event.
“While I look forward to a new chapter of my life, my work at IFFA has been a dream job,” said Imus. “I have been blessed to be able to represent such a great group of entrepreneurs. It will be bittersweet to say goodbye.”
An Auburn, Indiana, native, Imus joined IFFA in 2003, following a successful career in Washington, D.C. During his 20 years in the nation's capital, Imus spent his early career on Capitol Hill, last serving as staff director of a congressional subcommittee. After leaving the Hill, Imus served as vice president of NATSO, the association representing America's truck stops, before moving back to Indiana.
“During his tenure, Scot has been instrumental in helping IFFA members express a unified voice on advocacy issues of critical importance to our industry, and he will be missed," said J. Smith, IFFA's president. "We appreciate his leadership throughout the years, particularly his work helping make MPACT, our regional trade show, among the best in the nation."
“Scot has made his mark on the industry and certainly helped significantly grow M-PACT during his tenure at IFFA,” added Brian Clark, executive director of the Kentucky Petroleum Association. “He is greatly appreciated by all of us involved with M-PACT and well respected in the fuel and convenience industry. He will be missed.”
The M-PACT Awards were introduced last year in honor of M-PACT’s 20th anniversary to recognize individuals who have contributed significantly to M-PACT and the industry in the four-state region of the show: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Imus was presented his award by longtime friend Bill Fleischli, the former executive vice president of the Illinois Petroleum Marketers Association, who retired in 2019.
