Protective Supports RV Dealers
International Convention/Expo with
Gold Sponsorship
(Fairfax, VA)
– Protective Life Corporation’s Asset Protection segment is
a Gold Sponsor for the RV Dealers International Convention/Expo,
Oct.1-5, at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The
convention is sponsored by RVDA–The National RV Dealers
Association, RVDA of Canada, and the RV Learning Center.
"RVDA has endorsed
Protective’s XtraRide service agreement since 1992, and
Protective’s continuing support of employee education through
their convention sponsorship is another example of its commitment to the
association and its dealer members," said RVDA Convention/Expo Committee
Chairman Peter Albano of American RV in Olive Branch, MS.
"Protective and
our field team have a strong track record of supporting continuing
education" said Bill Koster, Vice President of Recreation Vehicle and
Specialty Products for Protective’s Asset Protection segment. "The
workshops and other programs offered by the RV Learning Center at the
convention help improve customer satisfaction and dealer
profitability."
To make the convention as affordable as possible, the registration fee
for dealership employees is the same as last year. RVDA is also offering
special registration plans, including an easy-pay plan of four payments
and the ability to lock in early-bird savings for additional employees
with one-paid convention registration.
Themed "The Road
to Opportunity," the convention will present educational super sessions
designed to help dealers navigate the issues and opportunities they face
today and presenting strategies to reach new customers through new
technology and to harness the power of social media. This year’s
conference also introduces a new series of fixed operations workshops
for service and parts managers to improve efficiency and
profitability.
The 2012
convention will feature an exhibit hall filled with the RV
industry’s top companies offering products and services to help
dealers improve profitability. RVDA’s Partners in Progress Brand
Committees will also meet to work on important dealer/manufacturer
issues.
