Fall IMPACT Performance Conference 2016
The recent meeting in New Orleans was a big hit with both RDA Members and Manufacturers. Everyone had a great time networking and receiving valuable information from several great presenters. The meeting was jam-packed and well balanced with industry details, leadership and motivation presentations, and lots of fun sprinkled along the way! Attendees experienced a great Jobber of the Future Round Table, an interesting and active team building exercise with WITS, and 2 exceptional non-industry speakers, Noah Rickun and AB Bourke.
Everyone also tasted great New Orleans cuisine, including the fare at Brennan’s for our welcome reception & dinner. The iconic restaurant was within walking distance, and the festivities started in style as 80 of us marched there in a private RDA New Orleans Mardi Gras parade, led by a 6 piece band and an official police escort blocking the streets just for us! Check that one off the bucket list!
Member Meeting Portion – RDA Members were treated to an excellent presentation on ‘Mentoring’ from Scott Townsend of Akzo Nobel. Presentations on new product offerings were also given by Seth Glauberman of Presta and Wendy Grantham of AMMEX.
