"Next Gear Solutions, creators of DASH would like to thank RIA and its dedicated staff for hosting an outstanding convention in St. Louis this week. As a new member of your vital organization, we were honored to be both an exhibitor and a sponsor of the convention. We had an overwhelming response to our restoration management software, and your event provided us an opportunity to showcase the features of DASH that are helping to move our entire industry to the next technological level. We had the chance to meet with some of the finest contractors in the industry, many of whom were Certified Restorers eager for a software solution for their everyday needs. The quality of the restoration companies that attended your event, along with the great response our software received, prompts us to strongly encourage other organizations working in the Restoration Contracting Industry to participate in future RIA events like the 65th annual Spring Conference this coming March.
Here’s to a superb show and to a long relationship between RIA and Next Gear Solutions."

“Once again, the fall RIA conference was FREE.  The Registration Fee was absolutely covered in one “OPEN DISCUSSION” session.  The comments made in the group setting saved me tens of thousands of dollars.  The UNCONFERENCE concept has won over a shy and introverted Ernie.  Let’s do it again.”

"NuBilt has recently become members of RIA. During the course of our inquiry, I had the opportunity to communicate with Cynthia Mullaly. Please allow me to tell you how impressed I was with her professionalism, knowledge and assistance. She was very crucial in my decision making to become a member with RIA. Following our signing up, I had some membership questions and Erik Greenwald came to my assistance. He also was very professional and anxious to help. You have a good team and I am proud to be a member. I intend to support your organization for many years to come." Thank you.

"As an international subscriber, keeping abreast of the latest trends and information in the restoration industry is vitally important, but a battle to find. I find the C&R is important reading for all in the restoration industry. Keep at it team!!" magazine great reading to keep up to date with industry based information.
-Ashley Easterby

"In my opinion RIA is the life blood of our profession, this is how I see RIA and believe in it. I have proved this point time and time again how could it not be, on my own I may have twenty years of experience in this industry, but as a whole with my peers in RIA collectively, we have hundreds of years of experience that we can and do share. To me that means a lot and where ever I go, then RIA comes with me."

Quick note before heading out for the Thanksgiving holiday to let you know what a true pleasure it was meeting and working with you and your team last week. Every one of them were real professionals as well as genuinely friendly and helpful. Charles was right when he told us about RIA and what to expect at the conference -- "you're going to really like them...they do a great job."

Pete and I both came away impressed with RIA and your members. Many expressed appreciation to RIA for inviting us and we received some very enthusiastic interest in the SAFELY OUT^TM Project. A significant number of your members want to explore bringing it to their communities. We'll be in touch with each to assist them in doing so.

Thanks again for your gracious invitation to be with you in Baltimore. We will be speaking highly of RIA in the months ahead and look forward already to being with you again in March in Palm Springs.

All the best in your leadership with RIA. You obviously are valued and regarded highly. Have a great Thanksgiving holiday."
