RETA Breeze Jul-Aug 2022

about the industry, and their place in it. Chapter leaders work diligently to organize meetings that serve the needs of their membership—including you. I have been to a number of different chapters’meetings in the past year and have always been glad I went. I have never been disappointed in the quality of the technical presentations, the food and just the fellowship. You can learn new things, catch up with old friends, and build your social network at RETA Chapter meetings. Most definitely—take advantage of your local RETA Chapter. If you don’t have a local RETA chapter, grab some of the people in your area who work in the

industry, and start one. It is not that difficult, and RETA HQ lends a lot of support. Which leads me to this advice: take advantage of RETA Headquarters. Got a question about RETA? Call RETA HQ. Someone always answers the phone, and you will be quickly routed to a living, breathing person who can provide answers and assistance. Take advantage of them. Take advantage of the opportunity to attend RETA National Conference this year in Reno, Nevada. Everything about RETA is available at National Conference. There will

be educational opportunities, opportuni- ties to sit for certification exams, support and encouragement for chapter leadership as well as all of the folks from RETA HQ. If you have taken my advice and called the RETA HQ, you get the opportunity to put a face with the name. So hit the RETA website and sign up for the 2022 National Conference. Take advantage of RETA!
