The Refinish Distributors Alliance held its Spring Membership Meeting March 29-31 at the Omni Downtown Austin Hotel in Texas. They had record turn out with over one hundred members and manufacturers in attendance. This event was another exceptional RDA experience intended to impact attendees in very positive ways, both personally and professionally!
The three days included roundtable discussions about today’s version of a “Lean” Delivery Schedule and Alternate Revenue Streams. They had a rodeo, which included one-on-one meetings with manufacturers and members with great raffle prizes given away throughout the event.
The keynote speaker was Matt Tenney, a social entrepreneur and the author of Serve to Be Great. Matt works to develop highly effective leaders who achieve lasting success by focusing on serving and inspiring greatness in the people around them. Everyone received one of Matt’s personally signed books. Later the excitement of the casino night, which ended with some awesome raffle prizes, was enjoyed by everyone.
