Lynn L. Bergeson, “Conquering Heroic Challenges: A Look at Hot Legal and Regulatory Issues You Need to Know,” NACD Chemical Distributor, September, 2009.

If the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) had to select a song today that best reflects a typical member’s profile, it would have to be “It’s Not Easy To Be Me”. Challenged commercially by the credit crunch, escalating energy, labor, and raw material costs, squeezed by market pressures spawned by a badly damaged economy, and reeling from legal and regulatory challenges that are mushrooming exponentially, NACD members really do need red capes emblazoned with the unmistakable S of Superman (and Superwoman, of course) to survive, let alone flourish, in this harsh economic climate.
