A Look at the 2019 Conference
The 2019 NRHA STIHL Foundations of Leadership Conference took place on the show floor of the 2019 Independent Garden Center Show at McCormick Place in Chicago. The site was also home to the first annual Independent Home Improvement Show, presented by the National Hardware Show®.
Attendees heard from presenters who are also part of the core group of instructors for the association’s Retail Management Certification Program (RMCP). The speakers presented on various facets of effective leadership and how critical strong leaders are to be successful as independent retailers.
