Each group brings something different to the table, and their individual parts are an important part of the whole. Our partners play a vital role in our success and their contributions are invaluable. As association leaders, we also have partners whose impact can sometimes be immeasurable. As I began to write my fnal letter as your RCA president, I refected on the partnerships that have made this experience so rewarding. Personally, my fellow RCA members, leaders—Board members and past presidents—and our staff have been an essential part of my RCA experience, and inspired me to take on various leadership commitments with the goal of making the RCA an important asset to any successful retail contractor. Thank you to everyone who provided ideas, planned events, developed new member benefts and opportunities, improved our existing programs, gave feedback, and provided countless other forms of support over the past two years. Your participation in this organization is instrumental to the RCA's success, and I encourage you to continue to be industry leaders in promoting professionalism and integrity in retail construction. Organizationally, the RCA has great sponsor partnerships. Not only have they supported the association fnancially, but have gone the extra step to provide discounts and resources to our members to help in their operations. You'll have an opportunity to meet and hear from our sponsors at the RCA Annual Meeting in March. I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about how these companies can support you as you grow your business and serve your clients. I look forward to my continued involvement in the RCA, as our new offcers lead the association and its members as we evolve and adjust to refect the changing landscape of our industry and address the challenges and opportunities ahead.
