Over 100 RDA members, manufacturer partners, and valued guests gathered for the 2017 RDA IMPACT Fall Performance Conference at the Westin Cleveland Downtown, Ohio. The event took place over three days, and included a presentation by Don Hobbs of MAPS Business Training on neural linguistics and embedded commands. Don also conducted ‘The One Thing’ workshop about how to focus to achieve the desired results. The workshop was followed by team & leadership challenges that generated multiple conversations and a lot of laughter.

Everyone enjoyed the evening entertainment, which included a reception exclusively for RDA at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame the first evening, and at Pickwick & Frolic the second evening.

We are privileged to have them attend our meetings and will continue to find ways to elevate the content so we provide relevant information and take aways that everyone can implement and will make a difference for them personally and in their businesses.”

We would like to thank all of our manufacturers who sponsored this event making it such a success.
