DAN GILLIGAN
President
Dan Gilligan began his service as PMAA President in 1998. Prior to joining PMAA, Dan's diverse career as a lobbyist and association executive spanned 22 years. Dan has now served as CEO of three national trade associations and one state trade association. The industries Dan has represented are numerous and include recreation vehicles, campgrounds, modular housing and steel container manufacturers. Dan believes his experience in each of those industries prepared him to meet the myriad of challenges he would face representing petroleum marketers. Having studied and learned the operations of five distinct industries, he will tell you petroleum marketing is by far the most complicated and challenging.
PMAA is a national federation of 48 state and regional trade associations and its single, most important mission is to collectively represent 8,000 independent petroleum marketing companies on matters pending before the U.S. Congress and the federal regulatory agencies. Petroleum marketers are highly legislated, regulated and litigated. It is a business where public policy changes can dramatically help or hinder the viability of independent marketers. It is Dan's job to advance the helpful policies and resist those that hinder.
Dan has earned and maintained his certification as a Certified Association Executive (CAE) which is awarded by the American Society of Association Executives. Dan is a native of Indiana where he earned his BS Degree from Ball State University. He and his wife Beth moved to the Washington, DC area in 1986 and now reside in Fairfax, Virginia.
