Industry Leaders Share Why They Serve On The RV Industry Association Board Of Directors

"We have continually worked towards developing and providing better products and better resources, to all members, to help manage business such as statistics and data. I think the association has talented staff, but it also encompasses a great circle of volunteer members who contribute. That combination has really made the RV Industry Association one of the stronger trade associations in the market today."  

"If you want your voice heard, you need to be involved. I wanted to provide a voice for Thetford and the supplier side of the RV business. Everyone in the chain is working toward a common goal: we want happy consumers – from purchase through the lifetime value of the unit.”

“As a park model manufacturer, we are a very small part of the total RV industry. When I have issues the RV Industry Association staff has always been there to support us. They usually have the answers to help and when they don’t they always do the research and get us what we need. I am so thankful that we made the decision to join the RV Industry Association. It has been truly a blessing to me and the park model industry. As a third term board member representing the park model manufacturers, I like how the board always puts the industry first in everything we do. From marketing to providing training for technicians, the Association makes it a priority that families will enjoy the total RVing experience.”

“The RV Industry Association’s success is important to the health and growth of our Industry! Whether it is ‘Self-Regulation’ through the Standards Department, training of skilled service technicians by the RV Technical Institute, promoting/marketing the industry lifestyle through Go RVing or state and federal advocacy by the Government Affairs department, all play a vital role in the well-being of its members. I have served on the Board of Directors and various committees since 2017 and have been fortunate to work alongside industry colleagues and RV Industry Association staff that share the same passion I do for our industry!”

“As our Industry continues to grow, it is critically important that we are focused on making advancements that support sustained growth and an evolving customer base. There are a lot of complex, long-term initiatives that need our Industry’s attention as an RV Industry Association Board Member, I am committed to working alongside my peers to help make a difference. I’m thankful that Lippert is not only very supportive of these industry wide efforts, but as a company we continue to invest heavily in initiatives to better serve OEMs, Dealers and Consumers. Customer experience and advancements in all aspects of how we operate as an Industry should be at the forefront of everyone’s mind.”

"Tredit is committed to servicing the surge in demand for RVs and trailers by focusing on global logistics and sourcing. The industry’s reliance on global supply warrants important connections not only for business production for OE manufactures, but also for consumers who source tire and wheel assembly replacements for their units. The RV Industry Association is uniquely positioned to help connect consumers and our RV industry at large. Technology brings people together both virtually and in-person at campsites. Lately, what used to happen in five years seems to happen in one year with this added transparency and opportunity. The RV Industry Association, with GoRVing and RVTI service, is at the heart of these efforts for the RV industry."
