On the heels of another successful Leadership Summit and Industry Expo, RIA has been working on several fronts to strengthen the association and promote its members to a wide variety of industry stakeholders.

There is a lot of positive energy and a lot going on at IICRC.

The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) takes its charge to serve the entire industry very seriously.

The IICRC Board of Directors met at the end of January to continue the process of revising and refining the organization’s strategic plan.

IICRC is revising ANSI/IICRC S500: 2006 version and developing S600 and S800 as ANSI Standards. BSR is the ANSI Board of Standards Review that reviews and approves Standards as American National Standards.

The 68th-annual RIA Leadership Summit and Expo will be held at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV from April 23-25, 2013, and offers a variety of education and networking sessions over the three-day event.

The 2013 RIA Leadership Summit & industry Expo was held from April 23-25 at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

RIA's 2014 Leadership Summit is building off the tremendous success of last year's event, with more focused content that impacts your business, better networking opportunities and a bigger and better Industry Expo Hall.
