The New York Propane Gas Association (NYPGA) is a member-focused trade organization providing services that communicate, educate, and promote the propane industry in New York. The association was formed in 1948, to offer opportunities to learn through training and networking with peers, and to aid with legislative issues that contribute to operating a safe and successful industry. Because the industry is highly regulated, the NYPGA continues to focus on education, networking, and representing the interest of New York's propane businesses to the government, while assisting members in remaining current on important regulations in the propane industry. The New York Propane Gas Association is one of many state and regional propane gas associations affiliated with the National Propane Gas Association.
