Indiana Propane Gas Association Statement of Anti-Trust Policy
The federal and state anti-trust laws are extremely complex and often of unclear applicability. Nevertheless, violation of these laws risks, among other things, imposition of significant liability for compensatory damages, treble damages, attorneys' fees and expenses. Consequently, the IPGA and its members must avoid even the appearance of questionable activity. Thus, at any IPGA meeting or gathering of IPGA members for any reason the following topics are not to be discussed at any time: current or future prices, what constitutes a “fair profit level,” possible increases or decreases in prices, standardization of prices, pricing procedures, freight allowances, cash discounts, credit terms, control of sales, allocation of markets or geographic division of markets, and refusal to deal with an individual or corporation because of its pricing or marketing practices.

President’s Report: President Donahue thanked the membership for attending the meeting. He updated membership on the recent trip to DC for Propane Days and the successful meetings the group had with Indiana’s delegation.
Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Carr provided a written and verbal financial report to the Board for review. The Board reviewed the report in detail. He noted that the first quarter of the investment account shows a loss of over $18,000. In the last two months the market made a significant rebound and the account is now up over $18,000 year to date. He noted that the income of the association is not covering expenses but the investment account more than covers the deficit. A motion was made to approve the financial report, the motion was seconded, and carried unanimously.
Women in Propane Report: No Report.
Lobbyist Report: Matt Norris provided a verbal report to the Board. He highlighted “green energy” legislation that included propane in the definition of “green energy” for funding opportunities. He noted the failure of legislation that would have prohibited local municipalities from banning any fuel source for types of off-road engines. He highlighted upcoming caucus fundraisers.
Management Report: Matt Solak provided a written report to the Board. Mr. Solak noted that the association was finalizing the 2025 dues renewal process. He also provided the Board with a 2025 event schedule and noted that the office had finished the summer edition of Propane Express
