The 2008 SRC is over but the excitement of the event continues as the attendees begin to implement new ideas in their businesses! With over 75 retail and service management classes and more than 100 hours of technical training, the people who attended say it best:

"NARDA's management training program is tailored for our retail business. We send our entire management team to enable them to grow personally and professionally. The interaction between attendees before and after the meetings and during lunches and breaks are where a lot of the real learning takes place. This idea exchange helps to make our tasks more enjoyable, efficient and our company stronger. Every dealer in our industry who wants to be successful should attend the SRC!"
