Douglas W. York, president and CEO of Ewing Irrigation & Landscape Supply, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and NAW Chairman of the Board, headed a delegation of key distribution company CEOs in a conference call late this afternoon with President Trump and Vice President Pence focusing on the importance of maintaining a strong supply chain for critical supplies in the face of the COVID-19 emergency.

“The President clearly understands how important the distribution sector is in maintaining the availability of vital goods and commodities where they are needed,” York observed. “He stressed the need for us to be especially responsive to the increased demand for supplies for hospitals and other medical facilities. We thanked him for his leadership and pledged that we would.”
