NPGA was originally based in Lisle, Illinois, but relocated its headquarters to Washington, D.C., in 2002.[3] The association also operates PropanePAC, a political action committee,[4] and it hosts trade conferences for the propane industry.[5]

The association has in recent years advocated for the growth of the cannabis industry, highlighting the fact that a large cannabis operation can use tens of thousands of gallons of propane per year.[6]
