Welcome to Refresh
 Welcome to Refresh, the new quarterly e-newsletter from the Ohio Soft Drink Association. The unique logo we selected tells its own story—the iconic crown cap symbolizes our history as an industry, and the refresh arrow reminds us that innovation is necessary and constant in the beverage business.
In this space, we want to capture Ohio stories in our industry, from community good works to facility tours and more.
Our members manufacture and distribute some of the most recognizable consumer products in the world, so we will also explore “behind the scenes” news and insights into these amazing companies.
Thank you for the opportunity to share our stories.
Kimberly McConville
Executive Director

Learn how we shared our story at the Statehouse this April -- and about important new legislation affecting our industry -- on the OSDA blog.
