DPA was off the CHAIN!

May 16, 2016 | By Patricia Ellis

Just got back from beautiful Orlando, FL…90-degree weather and sipping delicious Tidal Wave drinks by the pool. My time at DPA was awesome! I had a wonderful time meeting with ISSA members and non-members alike. We discussed facility solutions and I embraced distributor suggestions on what more they would like to see as a partner. DPA was not short on me building new meaningful and professional relationships. Therefore, I look forward to seeing our new members at ISSA/INTERCLEAN® 2016 in Chicago, October 25-28.

Aloha!
