BPAMA 

The BP Amoco Marketers Association (BPAMA) is a not-for-profit trade association representing BP branded Marketers and BP.  BPAMA started as the Souther Gulf Oil Distributor's Association in 1974.  The current Association and name came together in 1999 when Amoco and BP merged.  Our membership has their roots with the Gulf, Sohio, Boron, BP, and Amoco brands.  

BPAMA drives a collaborative, strategically focused mission of positioning the BP brand as the brand of choice for Marketers and Consumers, with brand growth that is profitable and sustainable.  BPAMA is a powerhouse of knowledge in the petroleum marketing business and the most effective Association of its kind in the petroleum industry.  Over 80% of BP's branded volume is represented through BPAMA and over 20% of all BP Marketers are active in Board or Committee roles volunteering their time, expertise and business acumen to shape the strategy, programs and offers impacting the BP Marketer Channel of Trade. 

BPAMA is managed by the 18 member National Leadership Board (NLB) which consists of 8 Marketers elected by their peers, 6 Marketers nominated to serve, 3 Senior Managers from BP, and the BPAMA Executive Director. While the NLB works on strategic direction with BP, they are supported by several Working Committees (WC). The WCs will work to develop objectives and tactical solutions meeting the priorities established by the NLB guiding the BP brand to the #1 choice for customers and consumers, creating growth that is profitable and sustainable for both supplier and marketer. The WC is comprised of both Marketers and BP representatives.
