Refinish Distributors Alliance hosted successful Fall IMPACT Performance Conference

Oct. 11, 2018
Over one hundred RDA Members, Manufacturer Partners, and valued Guests gathered for the 2018 RDA IMPACT Fall Performance Conference at the Embassy Suites in downtown Louisville, Ky.

Over one hundred RDA Members, Manufacturer Partners, and valued Guests gathered for the 2018 RDA IMPACT Fall Performance Conference at the Embassy Suites in downtown Louisville, Ky. Every participating RDA member and Manufacturer Partner attended this three day event.

The feedback we receive from Members and Manufacturers confirms how valuable these conferences are to all attendees. One Manufacturer summed it up best by saying, “RDA does such an outstanding job in putting together the conferences.  I don’t know how you do it, but you always raise the bar to the next level.  It is no wonder why all the members participate.  We all get so much out of the conferences and I always walk away learning new things and keep my focus on thinking “outside of the box”.  This is what makes us better people by moving forward, learning and growing. I can say emphatically that no other industry association comes even close to the quality of content and experience that RDA offers their members.

The three day conference kicked off with the round table topic on “Your Compelling Story: True Differentiators” followed by an exclusive reception and dinner at Churchill Downs. Everyone had a tour of the track and participated in three action pack horse races after dinner.

Executive Director Robert McKenzie Jr. said, “RDA Members commented that the Louisville event exceeded expectations. Valuable content combined with KEY takeaways.”                                  We would like to thank all of our manufacturers who sponsored this event making it such a success.
