RDA held its May Membership Meeting at the Hilton Inn at the Ballpark, St Louis, Mo. This was not your ordinary member meeting. RDA decided to mix it up by holding all the meetings at the Administrative Offices in Bush Stadium Baseball Park.

The three days included an impressive lineup of speakers, hands on and interactive presentations.  In keeping with the baseball theme they had Jim “The Rookie” Morris present a heartfelt speech about his amazing journey to the Big Show at the age of 35 and how he finally fulfilled his childhood dream.  

John Mozeliak VP and GM of the Cardinals closed out the first day’s meetings by answering questions from members and manufacturers before the group moved to a luxury suite for a reception and dinner to watch a game between the St Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies.  

Executive Director Robert McKenzie Jr. said,” We appreciate the support of our members and manufacturers. 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.”

The group thanked all of its manufacturers who sponsored this event making it such a success.
