SDRMA Brings a Leadership Expert to Newport Beach!
Don't miss your chance to hear Dr. Dick Ruhe, a senior consulting partner with The Ken Blanchard Companies, speak on 'Leadership for a Reenergized Workforce.'  His presentation will be on Wednesday, September 22 during the CSDA Annual Conference from 9:00 – 10:45 a.m. as part of the annual SDRMA Keynote Session Breakfast.  

Learn how both leadership and management have their places in capitalizing on the talents of people at all levels. It is important to be both visionary and practical, and to be capable of moving from discussions of purpose to the details of actual practice. Learn the two skills that create learned optimism and maximize the performance of others. Also during this event, SDRMA will present their annual member safety awards.

This social event is open to all levels of play; we even have room for those who would like to come out and watch the event.  The Tennis Club, located a short distance from the hotel, will be the venue.  You can choose to play at noon or 2:00 p.m.  And the best part…it’s a free event!  So dust off your tennis racket and plan to have fun at the 1st Annual CSDA Tennis Mixer.
